Cargo bikes are awesome.

Kid drawings of cargo bikes are awesomely cute!

I have 4 sons. They all have, at one time or another, drawn a cargo bike. I like how certain parts of the cargo bike are accentuated or in unique places, depending on the child's experience with the cargo bike. In most cases, the box, or kid-sitting location, gets the focus.

I have started a Flickr group to collect Cargo Bike Kid Drawings. This was in answer to some interest shown on the (R)Evolutions Per Minute, a crowd sourced American cargo bike documentary Facebook group.

The talk was about including some kid drawings, maybe animating them, for the documentary. If you think about it, this makes sense because quite a number of cargo bike users in America have one for children. Liz has an animation plan.

Liz Canning, the creator of this vision, is collecting your raw footage of cargo bike use and interviews of cargo bike users. She will edit the pieces together for a documentary. And she can edit well. Some of the clips in her trailer are from me, so I can see how she blended my cheap footage on a 10-year-old video camera with current video of interviews, seamlessly.

Join the Cargo Bike Kid Drawings Flickr group and pass it on to your friends. I would like to see some drawings in the documentary. I think the addition of another media, illustration, will add to the breadth of the project.
