Where can I get a wheelbarrow bike like that? That actually looks cool..

They are called Cargo Bikes and they come in many forms. This is one of them. Another has a bucket front, and the most common third one involves a big T R U N K that can hold kids, or cargo.

Beware if you're used to what Bikes cost at Walmart - you're in for sticker shock.

I wanted to get the kind that had the trunk for taking my kids on bike rides but they start at 2 grand. I ain't got that kinda money for a nice-thing-to-do.

That particular frame is made by Larry Vs. Harry, called the Bullitt bike, or eBullitt for the electric version. If in the US you may need to do a bit of digging on and offline to find a distributor.

They’re called “bakfiet” or “longjohn” cargo bikes. Similar bikes are made by Urban Arrow, R&M, Bakfiet.nl, and others that aren’t top of mind for me at the moment
