I'll be spending this summer and hopefully many other summers running a small cafe in Denmark.  It's located right on the water near Helsingor, directly on a bike path that goes all the way to Copenhagen.  We have access to cars to do shopping with, but clearly what we need is a cargo bike.

This little seasonal cafe may be located in the Danish version of paradise (at least before the flood comes), but we do not have a budget for buying a nice cargo bike.  Plus, I want to use the bike to take my kids traveling all over Europe, ultimately, so there are other reasons for me to do this as a crowdfunder, rather than trying to make it a business expense.

The bike we want is an electric-assisted cargo bike made in Copenhagen, in the biggest urban commune in Europe, Christiania.  They're very local and very well-made, but they cost much more than I could hope to afford on my subsistence touring musician income.

I'm offering what I hope are very enticing rewards for donations:

• All contributors receive a complementary espresso drink, made by me, if you show up at Cafe Hellebaek one of these summers.
• Donate $100+:  I'll give up to 100 kg of humans or other cargo a ride from the Helsingor train station to the front door of the cafe.
• Donate $250+:  a concert in your living room for you and your friends, next time I'm touring in your part of the world.
