I picked up our new bakfiets last Friday, a customised bakfiets.nl CargoBike Long from WorkCycles, which I wrote back in February.

After a week of biking on the new machine, I’m pretty impressed with it. According to Eloïse, it’s “helemaal mooi“, so she seems to approve.

Its first real test came a couple of days ago, when I brought back the largest load of groceries from the Albert Heijn that I’ve ever fetched without a car. It was a huge load and the bike definitely steered more heavily as a result, but it was as solid as a rock and got the job done.

There are a couple of photos of Eloïse showing off the new bike, if you’re interested.

Expect to see us as a regular summer fixture in front of Pisa IJs on the Scheldeplein.
