Hell yeah. I love headtube mounted front racks. I want a black snow with one so bad.

I don't know why you need that shovel, but I need that shovel.

I was just thinking that looks like a great trail tool!

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.

Removing invasive plants on my routes about town. Rootslayer brand, the smallest one. It's real good.

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.

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.

I've seen also a lot of fron seats for kids, specially in the Netherlands and Switzerland. Kind of cool!

Sick bike!

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 😅

Edit: I found the context https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_machine_kills_fascists

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.

Edit: also I could run them over.

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
