I Bought A Firetruck

I sold my car and got the Humvee of bikes, it can carry two loads of firewood, or two kids, or a kid and the plants we got at the garden store. Most of America is batshit crazy but in Portland, Oregon the no-car lifestyle is catching on. Hopefully other cities too.

I've actually driven this bike with complete windsurf and kitesurf set in the trunk.

Awesome bike mate! I'd love one of those but I currently get by with a racer for work and panniered up road bike for shopping but that bike is the bomb! Some couriers use them in London, if I had somewhere to store one I'd buy in a shot! Enjoy!

Somewhat smaller but probably the same level of practicality: http://donkybike.com/specs/

You're joking right? Portland was nauseating. Filled to the brim with smug hipsters who apparently share your sentiment: that the rest of us are insane for having a car to travel to work/home/vacations etc.
