My bicycle mini-van: Xtracycle with handlebars for kids

I'm now using my Xtracycle as a mini-van hauling my kiddos around everyday by bike. I was able to make this happen by designing and building a simple set of handlebars made of PCV piping.  I finally posted an article about how I built it and how it performs on my blog at: http://austinbikeblog.org/?p=736.

Enjoy!
