Kind of brings back that kid-like feeling, especially if you have a passenger.

Ahhh let’s see.... we got it as sort of a bike truck so we can haul stuff to our garden and I can use it for hauling tools from my shop. Also kind of nice to use as a people hauler 
Bakfiets.nl is a brand but Bakfeits is also the term for a cargo bike. Literally boxbike. They’ve been around for 100 years so the idea is anything but new.  Bakfiets.nl is regarded as the gold standard of cargo bikes here but there are a lot of other good brands too. This one was coincidentally what I was looking for for a decent price. 
It cycles remarkably easily,  and it’s not too heavy. No hills here though so that’s no prob but it’s pretty easy to get it over bridges. It has an internal 8 speed hub so you have a pretty good gear range and it’s a blast to ride. Kind of brings back that kid like feeling, especially if you have a passenger.
Lots of fun! I’ve always wanted one and had some money burning a hole in my pocket so here it is!
