Henry from Bakfiets already layed it out in a comment on Dutchbikeseattle:
If I may be a bit obsessive here, there is already a verb for riding a bakfiets: “bakfietsen”. In its infinitive form its spelled the same as the plural noun but would be conjugated into:
- ik bakfiets (I cargocycle)
- hij/zij bakfietst (he/she cargocycles)
- wij bakfietsen (we cargocycle)
- ik/hij/zij/wij bakfietste (I/he/she/we cargocycled)bakfietsless? No: “bakfietsloos”
And one more: “bakfietsachtig” being like (but not really) a bakfiets.
In true Copenhagen Girls On Bikes style I shot a pic of a bakfietsster (feminine grammatical gender for ‘bakfietser’) on my way to the office. I call it “Practically Chic”.
