That time in 2014 when I won a chicken coop in a raffle, but there were no ziptrucks available and it didn't fit in my friend's car - so I biked it home. I just happened to be wearing a #Seattle #DisasterReliefTrials t-shirt at the time.

A bakfiet-style cargo bike with white frame, parked in a big parking lot. There's no box on the bike, just the front platform. On the platform, strapped on is an 8ft tall wooden chicken coop; it's a 4x4 wood box on legs. There's a door w/ mesh, etc. In the background, a truck with a platform that says "salt box designs.com"

That same white cargo bike, parked in my driveway in a residential area. Another side view, with the same chicken coop strapped onto the bike but from the opposite side. This side is just a wooden wall, no door or mesh to see into the coop. I'm standing at the bike, hands on the handlebars and seat, one food (in flip-flops, 'cuz that's how I roll) on the top bar.

Same white bike and chicken coop, this time from the front. I'm sitting on the bike saddle, but all you can see is my face; the rest is blocked by the chicken coop.

Another view of the bike in the big parking lot, this time from the back. Here you can see the bakfiet has a mixe-style top bar, and then handlebars. The chicken coop entrance is visible, just an oval hole probably about a foot tall in an otherwise solid wall. There's also mesh on the bottom of the coop.
