This is what it could be like for families on the North Portland Willamette Greenway! I don’t yet know where this is shot, but the bikes were made in Eugene, Oregon, USA.
npGREENWAY envisions a trail system providing access to and along the Willamette River enveloping the north riverfront from the Steel Bridge in downtown Portland to Cathedral Park near the St. Johns Bridge and extending through Baltimore Woods to Kelley Point Park.
Our goal is to link North Portland neighborhoods with the Willamette River for recreation and access to jobs. This expansion of the Willamette River Greenway will include a network of trails used for activities such as walking, running, cycling, skating, skateboarding, fishing, boating and wildlife viewing. The North Portland Greenway trails will connect with the existing Willamette River trail system serving residents and visitors throughout the region.
npGREENWAY is working collaboratively with community stakeholders to realize this goal.

Lucky dog…
Mine used to get taken around Davis in a rear trailer, but he didn’t like it. Used to strain against the leash/restraint and bark at anyone I passed. Keeping one’s precious cargo up front seems like such a good idea.
I’m wondering if Angela and Libby would experience their commute differently with such a set up, or if people’s negative perception is based more on seeing children on bicycles outside of suburban cul-de-sacs. What is the usual reaction you get from people when you and the kids are our out with the Bakfiets?
I know that using a trailer can be worrisome because I don’t see where it is exactly and worry that I am not positioning myself well (for the safety of who/whatever I’m towing). If only cargo-up-front options were as accessible (in terms of price) as trailers (got mine on craigslist for about $50).
