'Bakfiets'. Bike with a 'bak', which would be a container?

They are mostly rentals. I think IKEA rents out bakfietsen too.

The one 'bakfiets' in the picture may be a rental, but I know a lot of people owning one. All my friends and myself included own one. When I bring the kids to school in the 'bakfiets'. There is a 'bakfiets' traffic jam. It's also great for groceries and going to the beach!

Those are not the wide ones like in the picture though - almost nobody owns those.

Thanks.

I am reading articles like this to further my diabolical plot to make my little corner of America more people-friendly, in spite of how unpopular such goals seem to be with so many Americans (which is why I am jokingly calling it a diabolical plot). So actual info is good.
