From Copenhagen,Denmark.
Dutch families with two or more children quickly have a problem when they do the errands by bicycle in the city. Heavy bags on the handlebar, one child seated in front and another behind results in unsafe situations. The Cargobike offers a solution. A transport bicycle that's user friendly and ensures absolute cycling pleasure. The Cargobike has a low instep and the centre of gravity is close to the ground. The Cargobike is extremely manoeuvrable, convenient and light steering. The kids sit in a tough wooden box in front of the rider and are held securely with three-point harnesses.

The Aquaduct looks like a tricycle with a solid trunk area.
That trunk contains a tank capable of holding enough water for a family's daily use. In addition to propelling the vehicle, pedaling the bike also sucks water from the rear tank, through an internal filtration system, and into a clean drinking water reservoir. The bike’s drive train can be disengaged while parked, and the Aquaduct used as a stationary filtration device. Five California-based design students built the Aquaduct for rural, third-world countries where many people either walk for miles or use a motorized vehicle to retrieve water, and then use up time and energy to boil the water. The Aquaduct provides the transportation sans fossil fuel, eliminates the need for wood or other fuels to heat the water, and is emissions free.
