Christiania bike
Christiania, Copenhagen
A Christiania bike is a cargo bike which can be commonly seen in Copenhagen area and originated in Christiania. Since Copenhagen is a very bike friendly city, many copenhageners don't own a car, but sometimes extra space for transportation is needed. That's what a Christiania bike is meant for: it has three wheels for extra stability and a spatious front box. You can carry goods around the city, from normal daily duties like shopping food, to store daytrips luggage such as a barbecue, a ball for playing or a birthday cake to bulky materials or you can even use it for moving house. Moreover, the front box can be a comfortable space to give a ride to someone. You can transport animals, children or friends, comfortably seated in the front box. Or you can use it as a mobile urban wardrobe, or room. In fact, besides being a means of transportation, it's also a mobile room powered by your legs, which can be filled in with your favourite objects and people and carried around the city.
