I would love to see it in more cities/countries, because I use it very often. I don't have the money to buy one for myself so the best that happend was that the city decided a few years ago to make stations where you can rent these bikes for a short shopping trip or to some nice place. They aren't even really expensive too.

Incredibly they are pretty good to steer. I thougt the same first time I tried them. Some of them also have little seats for children to sit in, I assume that is why its in the front. But I clearly did like to see my groceries while driving.

Pretty cool to hear. I can see straps that I think are meant to be seatbelts. Are they a common sight in town or do they not get as much use as they deserve?

I see them pretty often, more often I see the rentable normal bikes tho (:
