Bet you’ve never seen one of these
My boss, Mark, is expecting a new baby this year and like most people must get a bigger form of transportation to haul his child around in. Unlike most people, Mark’s chosen form of transportation is a recumbent bicycle. So, instead of upgrading to a station wagon or SUV, Mark bought the SUV of the bicycle world: a Bakfiet.
This intriguing bike will haul up to 275 lbs and is quite a comfy ride. I was lucky enough to be the first to get to take a ride around the block in the “bucket”. Matt and I also took turns driving, however neither of us were good enough drivers to have a passenger. I can only imagine the questions and interesting looks Mark will be getting in the days to come. He is extraordinarily pleased with his new bike however, and I am sure will be more than happy to answer any and all questions that will come his way.

Thanks for the plug, Becky.
I do have a page with more information about the bike on bikerichmond.org.
