Weird Bike Wednesday - Mattapan Mobile Farmstand

The Mobile Farmstand in display mode
Here's another one of those odd but practical bikes (actually it's a trike). This one is called the mobile farmstand. The idea here was to come up with something that a person could fill up with produce, pedal over to the farmer's market, open up and start selling. There are 4 compartments, each with two bins. In transport mode, the two top bins and their covers fold down. Once on location, the two top bins are propped up and their covers are opened.

This bike was created by a group in Boston called BRACE. They developed it for the Mattapan Food & Fitness Coalition Mattapan is a neighborhood in Boston, and it apparently has a lot of immigrants from Haiti. One of the services the group offers is Haitian Creole language translation.
