Bike with your tykes

Ever since writing the last post , with the photo of that grown-up tricycle , I’ve been slightly obsessed with the options available for bicycling with kids. Since it’s still Bike to Work week, I have to share a couple of the products I’ve found. As you might guess, they’re all pretty expensive. But it’s fun to dream.

The image above is of a Madsen Cycle made in Utah. Oh, how I want to put my kids in that bucket. For $1,299, I could.

In the interest of full disclosure, just by mentioning Madsen here I’m entering myself into a contest to win one. You can enter too, if you have any sort of Web presence (blog, Facebook account, etc.). Learn how here . I swear I’m not featuring this bike just to enter a contest. I just wanted to share the coolness with all of you. If I happen to win through my Dwell Well post, maybe we can do a re-giveaway here.

Another sweet ride is the Nihola Cigar Family bike made in Denmark. I wonder what it’s like to maneuver that thing with your offspring in the front instead of the back. I’d sacrifice drivability, though, just to see my toddler smiling up at me surrounded by fresh vegetables. If I’m doing my Euro conversion right, this beauty will set you back about $3,370.

Hmmm … maybe I should just check the classifieds for a used Burley .

So, what’s your dream bike?
