Post unit cut off date and I'm still thinking about this citycycle thing....


Came across a very interesting idea from a chinese wholesaler that I get parts from regularly. 

Check this out for a great idea for child seats!





Now I love innovation... and this one is just a cracker. My design thoughts went with retrofitting existing bikes with seats... but this is just brilliant. 

This design allows the bike to be converted into a hand stroller for pushing through shops and pedestrian area's in addition to the city cycle tour idea.

Even the colour scheme is similar. Okay so it's not my idea, but I think it's brilliant and I recognize the application and implications citycycle can get from this. I'll be forwarding this link and recommendation scope to Brisbane City Council in regards to the product. 

It solves a number of user issues right now. 
  • Baby seat fitted - Yes. 
  • It's a bike - Yes.
  • I can take it into pedestrian zones/shops? - Yes!!!
I love it!
