Biking with kids is all the rage in Portland these days, but biking with six kids between the ages of 2 and 11? That's something I never would have thought possible before I met southeast Portland resident Emily Finch.

Finch, 34, is a powerhouse. Watching her pedal her bakfiets cargo bike with four kids in the front, another one in a child seat behind her, and another one on a bike attached to hers via the rear rack, is a sight that not only inspires — it forces you to re-think what's possible.

And here I was, thinking I'm clever carrying my two!

    Legislation in Aust says :
    They must be helmeted
    They must be in a seat designed to carry a person
    (or similar wordage).
    So, to my mind, she could ride that around here. Well, at least until she hit a hill, anyway ;)

    Agreed.. I can't think that anybody would / could stop her. Of course congested British roads & the weather might not help. I hope her brakes are good!
