>Another Bike. I’ve done this a few times, though not since last fall. I got the idea online but can’t remember where. I came across a site that sold the Mundo Yuba and it actually showed them being delivered by another Yuba. Anyhow, much to my teenage son’s chagrin, that is his bike being towed.Continue reading “>Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#8)”

>Easy As That
>I came across this video and thought I’d share it. It was posted by the Dutch site, Amsterdamize. It’s an excellent short video showing how easy it is to use a bike as everyday transport (and it’s accompanied by pretty good music as well…Gasoline, by Brad Sucks). What I like about this video is thatContinue reading “>Easy As That”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#7)
Six boxes loaded with books. Lately I’ve been feeling that my house is full of too much stuff…and much of the stuff are things I rarely use. So in one more way of trying to simplify my life I’ve been attempting to purge my house of unused stuff. I am by no means a pack-rat,Continue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#7)”

Not Fixed
I use my gears daily, and I like my gears. The reason I say this is the prevalence of “fixies,” or fixed gear cyclists, especially as the weather warms up a bit. So I suppose this is my two-bit rant about fixed gear bikes. If you’re not sure what a fixed gear bike is clickContinue reading “Not Fixed”

Unplugged Earth
I read somewhere recently (though I can’t remember where) that up to forty percent of your household electricity usage can be accredited to things that aren’t even turned on…you know, all those little blinky lights and clocks on your electronics that you don’t even notice. With that said, imagine how much electricity consumption we wouldContinue reading “Unplugged Earth”

Mini-Cargo Bike
I rode my Dahon today for the first time in a few months…it felt good. It was such an odd feeling after riding “the Mule” and the Yuba all winter. The Dahon, with it’s short wheel base and 20″ wheels, feels almost like a sports car (was I going thorough a mid-life crises when IContinue reading “Mini-Cargo Bike”

The Awsomeness of Utility Bikes
It’s been relatively pleasant in Buffalo lately…by that I mean not much snow, though it has been bitterly cold for the past week again. Anyhow, it was a brilliantly sunny day and I rode my Yuba Mundo to work, and then rode my teenage son home on it…cutting the walk time down by at leastContinue reading “The Awsomeness of Utility Bikes”

Errands on the Mundo Yuba (and what I saw on the ride)
I had the day off today and had a bunch of errands to run. The temperature was hovering around 32F, and the sun was out (at least for the first portion of the day). I probably covered about 20 miles (I’m guessing, as I do not have an odometer), taking into consideration the convoluted andContinue reading “Errands on the Mundo Yuba (and what I saw on the ride)”

Bike Racks
I was in Toronto this past weekend, and as usual was impressed with the city for many reasons: its multiculturalism, it’s friendliness, it’s vibrancy and cleanliness, but mostly it’s robust bike culture. Toronto is a mere 100 miles from Buffalo and the climate is pretty much the same…snowy and bitterly cold much of the winter.Continue reading “Bike Racks”
