The Mundo Utility Bike is designed to promote affordable, scaleable transportation for cargo and people, particularly for developing parts of the world that rely heavily on human-powered mobility in rugged conditions. Of course, it works just as well taking your dog and your camping gear to a lake for a weekend. Or running errands around town. Or hauling a new piece of furniture home that you just picked up at a garage sale. Its a bike built for anyone, anywhere.

You may also like dutch box bikes (you can see a photo of one here). They can not only carry stuff, but when we were in Amsterdam, we saw the dutch used them as "stroller bikes" carrying kids along with them. They even had rain covers. There's a place in Portland called Clever Cycles that is selling them now.
