Hot weather cycling: Behold the Cyclo Sprayer

We call it the Cyclo Sprayer and it's sole purpose is helping cyclists cool off in hot weather.

Our trusty office cargo bike is like Thunderbird 2 - when there's a crisis, it turns its hand to the task in hand. So when temperatures peak, we equipped it with a pressure washer and a tank of cold water to hit the sweltering streets.

The prospect of gliding through a mist of cool water was a welcome sight for the riders we encountered, but just to make certain, we checked with everyone that they were happy to be sprayed.

There must be all kinds of weird and wonderful uses for a cargo bike. What would you like to see one equipped with?
