Hybrid Trolley Two-Wheelers

The Cart Bike by Zieak is the Ideal Ride to the Supermarket

— July 12, 2011 — Autos
Those city slickers who are not blessed with a car (or the funds to justify paying for parking) will be happy to discover that the solution to their grocery shopping problems comes in the form of the Cart Bike by Zieak. Instead of relying on that high volume backpacker bag to carry your goods from the store to your home, this Instructables user suggests a much more efficient way.

For anyone who's interested in this shopping cart bicycle hybrid, the directions for your own DIY version are available. To sum them up, one first needs to source an old two-wheeler, with at least the back tire in tact, and an abandoned grocery trolley. A great deal of handiwork and resourcefulness will ensure the successful assembly of the Cart Bike by Zieak, given that the handlebars and forks need to be joined with the back of the pushcart.
Trend Themes
1. Hybrid Trolley Bicycles - The trend of turning abandoned grocery carts and bicycles into DIY transportation solutions for urban dwellers continues to grow.
2. Efficient Urban Mobility - Finding new ways to tackle urban mobility in congested and crowded cities creates opportunities for innovation in the transportation sector.
3. Sustainable Transport Solutions - Using discarded materials to create new transportation solutions such as the Cart Bike by Zieak can lead to the development of products that have a lower environmental impact.
Industry Implications
1. Retail Industry - Innovative transportation solutions such as hybrid trolley bicycles have the potential to disrupt the retail industry by offering consumers more affordable and environmentally-friendly alternatives to traditional transportation methods.
2. Bicycle Industry - The bicycle industry could embrace the trend of hybrid trolley bicycles by offering hybrid models that can integrate with abandoned grocery carts to meet the needs of urban shoppers.
3. Waste Management Industry - The waste management industry can benefit from exploring how discarded materials such as grocery carts can be repurposed to develop innovative transport solutions like the Cart Bike by Zieak.
