The Ultimate Carbon Neutral Grocery Getter

Who: Madsen Cycles; Salt Lake City, UT

What: kg271/Bucket Bike

Where: Madsen; $1299 or, if you can handle a few minor scratches $1099

Why: Coined the “urban utility bike,” this is one serious grocery getter. No more struggling to squeeze a watermelon into your dainty bike baskets, the 40 gallon bucket can handle your biggest loads, even kids. It comes with a removable bench and two seatbelts so you can secure the little ones in. Perfect for commuting to school, practice, the beach……honestly, can you even imagine how fun it would be riding around in that giant baby blue bucket, as a kid, that is? Although it is tested up to 600 pounds…..

The low profile bike adjusts to fit a 5′ to 6’6″ frame. Available in Black, Cream, or our personal favorite, baby blue, the Bucket or the Rack will curb your carbon footprint and earn you some major style points as you cruise around on the stretch Hummer limo of the bike world, although it probably handles better and is certainly easier to park…..
