- Zigo
Zigo is a brand of carrier bike designed by US company SOMA Cycle, Inc., located in South Orange, NJ. The fact that the company's product is convertible into a stroller as well is significant, as reported on in a full page article in the industry trade magazine Bicycle Retailer & Industry News. ["Inventor Designs Convertible Design For Child Carrier Bike", Bicycle Retailer & Industry News, March 1, 2008, pg 50.] The product has also generated interest in alternative transportation circles as reported on by Trans Scan. ["How Aching Feet Helped Rethink Child Transport", Trans Scan, Vol 8, No 4, January 2008, pg. 3] The forward-located position of the child carrier is novel in the US market, though analogous products exist in Europe.
