Designed by  German-based bicycle builder De Cafe Racer, the bike puts the antsy little legs of 10 children to work alongside an adult who controls everything from the front. An auxiliary electric motor is available on standby, just in case the kids petering out.

Specially designed for kindergartens, the KDV carries up to 8 children and offers weather protection to keep them warm dry (€2,995 at WorkCycles). Hundreds of these are already in use by schools and day care centers in the Netherlands.
