Metrofiets - American Bakfiets Makers

OK, I knew it would happen and couldn’t you have guessed, it would be in Portland. The first US custom maker of Dutch style cargo bicycles (bakfiets). From the looks of their weld quality and components, Metrofiets bicycles are on par with any custom built bicycle on the market.

We’re looking forward to giving one a test ride the next time we’re in Portland. You can check out their website at: www.metrofiets.com as well as their beer bike at Hopworks Brewery (Portland’s own eco-brewpub)

SOLD: Cargo Tricycle for Sale

I’m selling one of our cargo tricycles. I bought two of these and had them shipped to us, but am selling one to make room in our garage.

  • Color: black frame / bright white box
  • Frame: Steel
  • Components: Shimano Nexus 3 speed internally geared hub, hub brakes all three wheels
  • Rear wheel: 24″ x 1.95
  • Front wheels: 20″ x 1.95

If you’re in the Los Angeles or Orange County area, this is a great chance to get a Euro-style cargo tricycle without the hassles of shipping and customs. I’m asking $350 obo.
