It is a two-wheels-in-front trike designed for carrying kids. It has a large wooden carriage box that is handy for big things like nursery pots, kids, or large flat pizzas. See <a href="http://www.christianiabikes.com/" target="_blank">here</a> for more information. I've carried medium-sized pizzas home on a standard rear rack. Just make sure the pizza box is not soggy or floppy. Or you could strap a small piece of plywood onto the rack for rigidity. There are also very sturdy front racks that provide flat support from <a href="http://www.cetmaracks.com/index.html" target="_blank">CETMA</a> in San Francisco Hi Richard,

I'd love to pick up the occasional pizza by bike in the evening, but I can't think of a good way to ensure the pizza would be secure on my current bike. Too bad seattle doesn't have a Hot Lips Pizza. :/ What is the “Christiania” you mention using to pick up the pizza by bike?

Too bad seattle doesn’t have a Hot Lips Pizza. :/

They gave us extra goat cheese, so the prominent flavors were the tangy richness of the goat cheese, the salty yumminess of the bacon (very thin-sliced, partly crispy, partly fatty), and the sweet-ish background of the squash sauce. I was impressed (and relieved, because we got a jumbo-sized pie!). Hot Lips made a commitment a few years back to source local products and to be the most sustainable pizza delivery company they could be. I have to say they're doing a pretty great job. thanks for your comment, patrick Hi Brad,

I've been reading your blog with interest for quite some time. I admire what you do. I am inspired to write by my wife, who when I read this entry to her asked as I finished, "What I want to know is, was the pizza any good?" So, was it? Brad W. Orem, Utah Hi!
