Cart Bike: Don't Cycle to the Supermarket Without One

Cart Bike: Don’t Cycle to the Supermarket Without One

Do you often bike to the supermarket, only to be hampered by the lack of ample cargo space your traditional headlight basket provides? Problem solver Ryan McFarland decided he was fed up, and went on to create this Cart Bike, a fusion bicycle + shopping cart. Save the poor corner-turning capabilities, the fusion project does indeed bring a smile to my face.

The vehicle was made with a short list of ingredients, including a bicycle, shopping cart, socket set, hex key set, dremel tool, utility knife, zip ties and a screw driver. Ryan gives a step-by-step photo guide on how to build your own here.

Replace the back shopping cart wheels with a longboard truck + wheels. The front wheels would track as their on casters. You have all your weight up front so you can lean directly over the truck to turn. Problem solved, also I want one.
