Family-Friendly Bikes by Madsen and Zigo
May 20th 2009 by Dr.MOZ in Bicycles, Strange Products, Strollers
I’ve featured carrier bicycles in the past, but bike designers keep coming up with cool new bikes…so I’ll just keep on showing them. Two new family-friendly designs include:
- The Zigo Leader: is a transportation system that easily transforms from a bicycle that holds up to two children in a “ChildPod”, to a fully functional stroller.
- A Madsen: equipped with a kg271/bucket could best be described as the El Camino of bicycles…or would it be a Subaru Brat? Either way, you’ll be ready to roll with the kids in tow thanks to the 40 gallon carrier with removable bench seat and two seatbelts.
Happy riding my friends, and don’t forget your helmets!
Have fun and stay healthy,
Dr.MOZ

Really useful products. The post establishes that bicycle industry is attracting customers by presenting the models according to probable utility.

The more I look at this one with the tub on the back of it the more I wonder if there is a big hump in the middle of it that straddles the seat and sissybar of the rear child bike?
Do you have any idea how well this thing works and if it has that hump?
Thanks in advance,
Corey

These are really great bikes. This will make it easy to carry children here and there with safety and comfort.

It’s amazing the stuff that has come out since I first started having children almost 22 years ago. I would have loved to have had one of these bikes.

These bikes are cool and useful. Have seen quite a few in the past months as the weather turns off nice and warm.

These type of bikes are very popular in Holland, if you do a search on Google for “mama fiets” which translates to Mother bikes you will find some very wacky family bikes, like this one: http://www.fietsfabriek.nl/pages/pmduo.htm

These bikes are cool. I really like the Zigo Leader. I am sure kids and parents love it also. Thanks for sharing!

It is looks like Riksha of Bangladesh, people use it as main transportation media. On the above pic, it’s good for mum’s.
Thanks for your post.

These are beautiful!, I am going to get one for my daughter who loves to bike ride, but wished she could take my twin grandsons along for some fresh air, too.

the second one , the bucket is a great product. i like it
June 8th, 2009 at 11:50 am
I would have to opt for the bucket being the better option. I think it looks safer than having your child infront of you when riding.

These are great twists on old and not really safe family bicycles.

Any new outdoor athletic form of transportation that a family can partake is really positive. Getting baby and parents outdoors will lead to many happy memories for a new family.
