Bringley, a compact cargo bike by Lawrence Brand
In 2008, Lawrence Brand, of Porterlight Bicycles, decided that he needed a cargo bike, but he didn’t have a secure place outside his London apartment to store one. He found that existing cargo bikes on the market were too long and heavy, so out of necessity the idea for Bringley was born. The bike…

A collection of concept bikes
I posted about Antoine Fritsch’s B2O bamboo frame bike in 2009. Since that time, he has continued his work using laminated bamboo with an electric scooter and the bamboo cargo trike that you see above.

He redesigned the handlebars to hide the cables and…

That bike was a student project, but after his graduation Wytze was contacted by two entrepreneurs, Gerald van Weel and Jorrit Kreek, and asked to design an updated bakfiets. Wytze points out that what really interested…

TATO bicycles
Jean-Louis Francescotti is a designer who commutes to work almost daily by bike. He was looking for a better way to transport his laptop and files, so he designed a new frame with an integrated storage compartment in the main triangle to do just that.

MONOWALKER hiking/cycling trailer
The MONOWALKER, designed by Kai Fuchs, is a great looking wooden and aluminum bike trailer, but as you might guess from the name it is more than that.
