I don't, of course, but we do have just as much fun as it looks like they are having. My nephew Josh particularly loves it when I need to make a run to the library or the grocery store and really don't want to pull the gas-guzzling minivan out of the garage. And of course, as we are temporarily a one-car-family, the bucket bike serves as our "other family vehicle". I delivered a half-dozen pizzas on it for our scout fundraiser this week. Jonathan regularly uses it to pick up the kids (four of them, over 200 pounds worth of kid-flesh and backpacks combined) from school when he is in town. I'm too much of a wimp to handle more than 100 lbs. in the bucket myself, but the bike sure can!
I don't know if we are making the world a better, less polluted place with our Madsen, but we are definitely making people smile.
That's cool! I often wish that I could ditch the car and either bike or take public transit. Unfortunately, I live in an area where that's not possible right now. Kudos to you for cutting down on your car use. I bet it saves a ton of money and is good exercise, too!
