A Bicycle That Seats You Plus Two Children (If You're Okay With That)
This Japanese commuting bike mounts kids on the front and back ends of a bicycle, almost like biological bumpers.
Most parents who transport their children in bike seats no doubt finish without having an accident. But the image alone is enough to provoke worrisome scenarios. Child in a rear seat? Catapult. Boy on a handlebars-mounted chair? Battering ram.
Depending on your views on the matter, this electric bike from Bridgestone will either seem like the bee's knees or will make your blood boil. It's designed to mount kids both on the front and back ends of a bicycle, almost like biological bumpers. But a range of kicked-up safety features makes it a potential game-changer for tot-infested families who don't own cars.
