  • Vienna Bike by Valentin Vodev Studio
    We get the sense that the folks from <a href="http://valentinvodev.com/index.html">Valentin Vodev Studio</a> got so tired of hearing people say that biking is not practical for everyday activities like grocery shopping that they designed the Vienna Bike in response. Technically it is a tricycle that is both human and electrically-powered, but a unique suspension system makes the ride feel every bit like being on a bicycle. And even better, this elegant bike from Austria comes with a handy extension bar and cargo box that can carry a trunk load of groceries and stump the naysayers.
