The Cartcycle merges the utility of a bicycle with that of a shopping cart, fashioning a vehicle that is the envy of recyclers and vagabond vendors. Designed through close collaboration with homeless individuals, Nohaus offers a vehicle that is as iconic as it is individual. At street level, the success of the Cartcycle rests on the fact that where others make light of the homeless epidemic, Nohaus has literally made heavy. It is in the ruckus rousing of the Cartcycle's cacophony that we hope to elevate the have-nots while distracting the haves.

The box is as long and low as a frontier coffin, and answers soundly a knock of the knuckles. It has four small wheels and a heavy chain that snakes through a hole on the side and wraps around a “No Standing” sign. Hundreds of neighbors and Little Italy tourists pass it every day, just off a strip of busy lighting stores on the Bowery at Broome Street. They pass the box with barely a glance. One man does not pass: John Cornelius Foley stops at the box, digs a key out of his jeans and stoops over, working the padlock on the chain. He pulls an end of the box open on its hinges and peers into the place he calls home.
