Wheel power in Europe

n the past few years a class of young designers and welders emerged in countries such as the Netherlands and Denmark to address the inner-city transport needs of families and companies. Their designs are taking congested cities by storm.

Riding the streets of Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Stockholm are thousands of radically new push-bikes, ranging from tricycles for day-care centres which carry eight children and low-seater bicycles with passenger-carrying trunks in front, to robust transport bikes with large containers for delivery boys. Folding bikes and retro army bikes can be spotted everywhere.
