Workcycles Cargobikes normal and extra small. Here's Kim's custom built size XXS Cargobike next to a normal one.

Bakfiets.nl now has a Long John type rack on a extended Cargobike frame. Equipped of course will all the Workcycles goodness.
About a year ago a Workcycles image was used (with permission) in a pair of billboards for the new Zeeburgereiland housing development. It's based on this image:

A couple weeks ago Ruud noticed that Fietsfabriek logos have sprouted where Workcycles should be.
Dear Amsterdam Fietsfabriek colleagues: That is NOT COOL. I'll be contacting you directly about rectifying this.
At Kyoko's request I put studded winter tires on our Cargobike. Of course the snow and ice disappeared the day after installing them and if Murphy's law holds true it won't freeze again until next winter.
I rode with the studs one snowy evening and can assure you that they do indeed work great. I can also assure you that the noise and friction of the carbide studs will drive you crazy when they're not needed.
We do have them in stock in any case!
After an amazingly mild December and January winter finally reached us. Just to be sure we didn't miss out on the fun we got up early and hit the "slopes" with the sleds.
The bakfiets is, as always the transporter of choice; nice and warm for the kids and plenty of room for sleds and stuff.

Oscar Wastyn Special
Ser# 3-22-37
58cm, blue w/gold box pinstripe
6 Day Track Racing Bicycle
Built for original owner:
Ted Follmer, living near Damen/Augusta

Ted raced this bicycle at both Chicago Stadium and Humboldt Park Velodrome, both no longer in existence.
(serial number may indicate manufacture date)
Frame features bottom bracket oil port, keyhole lugs, oval cut flat crown fork and uncapped seat stays. Very similar lug work as the first,1938 Schwinn Paramounts built by Wastyn, this bicycle is basically a first year Paramount prototype, other than the oval cutout head tube lugs and uncapped seat stays. This bicycle shares the same style of pinstripe as the first white Paramounts.
Components:
Arnold Schwinn adjustable stem, track handlebars and high flange track hubs, laced to aluminum tubular rims with double butted spokes and brass nipples.
BSA 165mm cottered crankset 25t Williams chainring, 8t cog, 1" pitch Diamond chain.

Newer Schwalbe Montello tires from the 80's (not glued, still holds air) and new Italian leather straps.
History blurb from Waterford waterfordbikes.com/w/culture/paramount/paramount-the-earl...
During 1930′s, Emil Wastyn had been building Schwinn’s race team bicycles. Schwinn stayed in the thick of the 6-day racing scene with rider such as Jerry Rodman.
Though the official introduction took place in 1938, the origins of the bike started earlier in the decade when Emil Wastyn became the framebuilder for Schwinn’s professional six-day racing team. Emil ran a bicycle store and frame shop not far from the Schwinn factory on Chicago’s West Side. Paramount-labeled bikes began to appear late in 1937, especially for Schwinn’s key six-day riders. In fact, the initial catalogs included letters from the current stars which promoted Emil Wastyn as much as Paramount.

This is a hand made cargo bike built out of 1/4-inch plywood. It's the prototype of the Oregon Manifest Design Challenge entry by industrial designer Michael Downes and boat builder Jeff Sayler.
I was out for a walk after work on Tuesday by McGregor Park (near Lansdowne / Whytock / St. Helens) when I saw these guys riding by carrying a rug between the frames of their bicycles. I caught up to them as they turned onto Lansdowne and snapped a few photos.
I always like seeing people do creative, practical things with human power.

Ton is modifying this Workcycles Cargobike frame for a very petite customer: 137cm. He's shortened the seat tube by 15cm and will now fabricate new seatstays to put it back together again.
The bike will be built with smaller than normal wheels and fenders, shorter cranks, and well pretty much everything will be different on this bike.
Need a special utility bicycle, or a fleet of them? We can probably make it.

Compare to Papa John's bikes in Chicago that have the large rear basket that's not very well attached to the seat post.

This gold Kr8 has several new features. The "One Arm Bandit" rear handle can already be purchased with a new bike or as an accessory. The Neodrives rear hub motor and derailleur gearing will be available soon.
The modifications to the frame and rear carrier for Kim's very small Cargobike are complete. It's been shortened by 15cm. Now everything goes to the powdercoater to be painted ivory white.

Ziet eruit als een zelfbouwbakfiets.
Looks like a self-made trike.

Kids take up a bit of room, so some extra baskets attached to the rear rack gives a LOT more loadspace.

This is the very first WorkCycles Kr8 bakfiets to roll off the assembly line! This bike replaces the trusty Cargobike we've been selling for ten years. It's a little bit better in every way.
The sun made a rare winter appearance and out we went to snap some photos. There are still some little nuts and bolts production things to refine but it already rides and looks great.
Of course YOUR Kr8 needn't be in such absurd colors but we do this with our demo/rental bikes to prevent theft.
With it's fully faired front end, the Jai Bike is probably one of the most aero cargo bikes to date. Its combination of front and rear loading cargo areas, and medium wheelbase, make it easier to handle than pure front-loading bikes like the Long Haul.
Just getting on with business in Amsterdam.
Joanna and Marc-Peter use their Workcycles Cargobike for both kid and cargo hauling. They're the Dutch distributors of the Micro kick scooters and balance bikes we love so much (and sell). Their record is apparently 30 or so boxed scooters on the Cargobike.
