Kids seated on the middle beam, dont think i have ever seen that setup here in Europe lol. Parents on a bike have their kids in a trailer, or on the back seat.
It's new tech. Front setup is really good because you can have a conversation with your child very easily while riding. The child also has a really engaging, dynamic view of the world from right up front. Keeps the weight central for a very stable riding experience. And they get a shadow experience of holding bike bars! It's been a big deal good thing for us.
Looks much safer too. Its also usually a backseat where I am. I've seen some nasty accidents with parents dropping bikes or getting hit with kids strapped into the back seat.
At least in the front you have a chance to grab them.
I had the same setup for my son when he was little ( now a long time ago). It’s the best place for a child. You can talk to them you can hear them, they are cradled in your arms. They get to “help” steer and do the bell.
Wouldn’t have them any other place
I wonder about the "this machine kills fascists" sticker, I've seen that on a lot of bikes and while I wholeheartedly support the message, I don't quite get how it relates to bikes? Bikes make really bad weapons 😅
Not supporting gas/auto/etc. companies that they use for power. Not doing long car commutes doubling that. Living in/aspiring to walkable, close-knit communities that function rather than exurbs thereby stripping more power away from them by building human links with your neighbors. Etc.

I don't know why you need that shovel, but I need that shovel.
Removing invasive plants on my routes about town. Rootslayer brand, the smallest one. It's real good.
That's cool as fuck of you
I was just thinking that looks like a great trail tool!
Dope rig, friend

Totally agree

Aww that sounds adorable. Maybe these seats catch on around here too!
I've seen also a lot of fron seats for kids, specially in the Netherlands and Switzerland. Kind of cool!
The videos/marketing for them is everywhere. The kids are recorded saying funny things and talking to their parents.
I think its a good design, and i think its the most selfie friendly bike seat which has helped the success.
selfies= safe?
Nice setup! Are those cork grips? Do you like them?
Ty! And I really like them a lot.
They look like the bees knees, my man
Is that a clover necklace on your daughters handle bars? Mine used to make those all the time
Lol yes
Sick bike!

Edit: I found the context https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_machine_kills_fascists
Car infrastructure creates the conditions that allows fascism to thrive

Seems like a good read, will check it before going to sleep!

Edit: also I could run them over.
I see, I took it a lot more literally:)
That's super cool and practical. What bike is that?

Sadly I can't find a seller in my country at this time.
Nice ride! I dig the colors too.
I think she's a little too young to be drinking
Love it!
It looks like a postal bike, what brand is it?
