Finally the cargo bikes are getting more and more popular in Ozzie! Being a Dutch girl, I can't imagine a life without a bike, and having kids a cargo bike it the most logical thing in the world! Missing the original 'bakfiets' (the Dutch cargo bike) we started importing them in Australia. The 2 wheelers are the new proven design, light and easy with all the quality you would expect from the Dutch!The last 10 years the 'bakfiets' has been market leader in Holland, and it is very popular overseas. It is a different concept than the Christiana bike, so there is something for everyone on the market! Which is great as we just want everyone on or in the bike. Interested in the Dutch Cargo Bike, have a look on our website www.dutchcargobike.com.au. Cheers Emmy Hi there!

Yes the 2 wheeler are based on the old dutch bakfiets design, what we have done is updating it, making it 15 kg lighter, the box bigger and it can still can carry more so you can transport your partner and kid if needed and you will not hit the passengers helmet when turning.. and they are cheaper than the original.. kind regards Peter hey hey, please come and test a Christianiabike, I have sold them for 4 years here and there are more than 300 of them all over Australia..

I didn't realised it could be used to put the kids in the front! Sounds like a lot of fun for the kids! It's like a pram-bicycle them. Looks interesting.

Hmmmm, mixed feelings about that one. If you ask me it looks like a straight rip-off from the bike designed by Maarten van Andel (the dutch bakfiets.nl cargo bike). The one saving grace is that it probably rides amazingly. I detect the new shimano IM80 rollerbrakes and the frame is probably aluminium. The box is much shorter it seems, but maybe that is an optical illusion because the box is higher too. Well, if it is a copy it probably is better quality than the chinese ones. And more expensive than the original hahahahahaha. Cheers. That last Christiania. Hmmmm, mixed feelings about that one.

It's actually a place, not a person, and is a commune that was set up on an island in Copenhagen way back when and declared itself as an autonomous state within Denmark. Since then it's always been famous as a place of open minds (and easy virtues) and has specific rules pertaining to all sorts of things such as the use of cars, and hard drugs. It's a permanent home to about 800 people and has produced all sorts of businesses including a radio and television station and of course the now world-famous cargo bikes. Indeed, the bikes are now so popular that I believe they are manufactured in the Czech Republic to keep up with demand. You can read all about Chritiana on Wikipedia which gives a fairly comprehensive history. They also build Pedersons which are very tall thin-framed bikes. All the best, Mark Mike,
