Who is The Luxurist to argue with the tens of millions of Dutch, Swedes, and other Europeans who ride their bicycles every day to commute to work, shop, and do other errands around their compact cities?
(The Luxurist admits that in theory this does appear to make some sense. But I digress.)
Here in the U.S., bikes comprise only about 2% of the traffic on the road, which is why the new Wide Path Camper for bicycles isn't yet available in the U.S. Well, you cannot exactly buy one in Europe either until July, when the company that makes it says they will begin shipping the first units.
The camper weighs a calf-enhancing 100 lbs. and measures 3 ft. 3 in. x 4 ft 3 in. on the road. The makers claim it sets up in three minutes, expanding to about 8 1/2 ft. long with headroom of a little more than four ft.
While you cannot stand up in it, two people can at least sleep in a bed that converts from a small table and banquettes.
The cost? About $2,200 in Europe. Order yours here.
