The first bicycle bus for schoolchildren, built by Dutch company Tolkamp Metaalspecials, of course.
So far, only 25 bikes have been made, but in bicycle-heavy Netherlands, it's the "next logical step" in transporting the nation's youngsters.
"Built by Tolkamp Metaalspecials, and sold by the De Cafe Racer company, the bicycle school bus (BCO in Dutch) is powered entirely by children and the one adult driver (although there is an electric motor for tough hills). Its simple design has eight sets of pedals for the kids (ages 4 to 12), a driver seat for the adult, and three bench seats for freeloaders. The top speed is about 10 miles per hour, and features a sound system and canvas awning to ward off rainy days."
