Memories


 My post of yesterday brought me back to memories when I had little children and lived in the middle of nowhere in a new village in 1979.  We had no car and I brought my children to school by bike. Cargobikes for children didn't excists in those days, so I had one child in a backseat and one at the front in a seat on my handlebars of the bike. As there were always cold blowing winds I had a windshield in front for the little one.

  1. Zo'n windscherm heb ik nooit gehad, 't is hier iets minder kaal. Maar verder ja, zo ging dat, twee kinderen mee. In Frankrijk vielen we op, daar maakten mensen fotos van ons. Hier niet natuurlijk

  5. My husband was in NL in 1970 and bought one of those wonderful handlebar seats for our first born. No such thing in the US in those days...I used it for all 3 kids and then passed it on to a new mom who also enjoyed her bike!

  6. What a wonderful memory! A great solution for you to create your own cargo bike before they were even produced.

  11. What a pretty young Mom. When I lived in the Netherlands. I would struggle to ride in the winds, then a Mom would pass me with a child front and back and groceries hanging from the middle!
