Things That Can Be Carried On (or pulled by) a Bike (#187)

$58.61 in groceries. Yup, still have a flat on the Mundo so I took the Dahon out with it’s Bike Rev trailer…A completely different ride but still just as fun.

Flat Tires Suck

No way around it, they do: flat tires suck. They’re really disappointing. Came home from vacation yesterday looking forward to taking a spin on the Mundo only to discover it had a flat on the front tire…hadn’t been on a bike in a week and was really looking forward to it. Maybe it went flatContinue reading “Flat Tires Suck”

In Praise of Cargo Bikes

This post is really in response to this article I came across at the Grist website. The catchy title of the article is initially drew my attention: Tricked-out cargo bikes give SUVs a run for their money. It’s a good article and basically just another thing to stroke your ego as a cargo cyclist. IfContinue reading “In Praise of Cargo Bikes”

> This is my teenage son who reluctantly agreed to have his picture taken before he pedaled away (are you done yet dad?). He’s adopted my old Raleigh Technium and it suits him well.

Ride A Bike!

This is an inspiring video by John Burke, president of Trek bikes. I first came across this when I was contemplating putting a 1world2wheels widget on this blog…then I realized that I already do most of the things they suggest (not all, but most…I did drive my truck yesterday…first time in nearly 3 weeks). ThenContinue reading “Ride A Bike!”

A Cleverly Defaced Billboard

I love this…originally posted here, but I came across it at the Urban Country. Appropriate, I thought when I first saw this. I, like many people, have been following the oil spill in the gulf, and most of what I’ve been hearing (other than how to stop this thing) is about alternative methods to extractingContinue reading “A Cleverly Defaced Billboard”

How I Built Running Boards For My Yuba Mundo (and it cost next-to-nothing)

This is really a continuation (albeit almost two years late) of a post showing how I built a top deck for my v1 Mundo (click here to see that post). After building that top deck I had always intended on building sideboards but never got around to do it. The new v3 Mundo makes itContinue reading “How I Built Running Boards For My Yuba Mundo (and it cost next-to-nothing)”
