This looks like an accident waiting to happen ~ and that's a hell of a low gearing judging by her pedaling.

The other day I saw a photo of an extra long two wheel cargo bike in Denmark with 8 kids in.

Not dangerous Mike because they have the infrastructure and the cycling culture to make it work.

Entirely safe in their context and I love to see it. Would that we had more of the same and similar in our flatter areas, the kids love it too. It's far less boring than the family's people carrier/SUV/car and healthier for all concerned, mum, the kids and the whole community.

I think it looks brilliant !
I've *only* got four little ones mind!

Great where I live in Shoreham with decent coastal cycle paths

Never mind, when the wife's pedalling it around there'll be room for you to sit in as well. :)

Though having spent much money on the bike.....i doubt I would still have the wife.

n-1 and all that :)

Would like to see how long her smile lasts going up a hill? ;)

I used to have a conference bike. The gearing is kept low to keep top speed down and get underway.

It's still faster than marshalling 8, 2 year olds that keep stopping to poke animals, pick up leaves and move in different directions.

It's visual presence is as large as a street cleaner and they don't have many accidents despite u turns, driving on the pavement etc.
