Classic details meet minimal styling in this bike by Areaware. Designed in bicycle friendly Amsterdam, where else? Powder-coated aluminum makes the bike as beautiful up close as from afar. My only regret is that a warm material with brown tones in the petals would have balanced out the leather in the seat and handles nicely. Accommodates heights range: 5’10″ – 6’6″ (179cm – 200cm). Pre-order it here for $600.

If your a design conscious parent, you know the feeling you get when you envision your child in a mesh yellow cage attached to the back of a bicycle. Possibly not the most attractive method of green transportation. The trioBike may be the answer to your prayers.
The trioBike has 5 point safety belts for the children, disc brakes, integrated front- and rear lights, fireproof hood and seats, that also have been tested for heavy metals. Safe and secure fun for the entire family.
The manufacturers suggests this pushchair/bicycle is most practical for commuting parents who may need to transport children. This is not as common in the US as it is in the EU, so maybe we could use it to cart our kids to the local coffee shop or dog park.
The complete bicycle and pushchair runs about $3,200 USD and is available at trioBike. -Via ~mod*mom~
