Interesting and innovative work from bike designers Paul Harder Cohen

No, I'm not trying to sell the bikes, I just found them very interesting

The cargo bike is a design disaster. The load has been lifted way up.
Raising the centre of gravity way beyond the point they could have had

to strap everything down.
And that big ugly bent stick of a frame. Eeeew!
