The below trailer was forwarded to me by a fellow cargo-biker (thanks Max!). It’s the trailer to an upcoming documentary about cargo bikes in the US. It is so good for me to see this. While I generally get really good comments about the Mundo when I’m on it or loading it, and while aContinue reading “Cargo Bike Revolution”

R.I.P. Val Kleitz
Image found here. I just learned that cargo biker Val Kleitz has passed away earlier this month at the young age of 51. I did not know Val, nor have I ever met him, but I felt like I knew him. I had seen many postings about him on the Internet in previous years andContinue reading “R.I.P. Val Kleitz”

Five Bikes on a Bike
Five bikes on a bike…sounds like there’s a pun here somewhere. Anyhow, this is a photo from virtual friend and fellow Mundo rider James, in Yokohama, Japan. He operates a bike rental business there and uses his Mundo to transport bikes. He posted this pic on his blog and I thought I’d re-post it. I’veContinue reading “Five Bikes on a Bike”

Home Built Cargo Bikes
As you can imagine I am always intrigued when I see other people being resourceful and carrying things on their bikes, especially when they are home-built. The above photos are of Ed and Eva. I’ve seen Ed riding around the neighborhood for a log time and today was riding past him as he waited outsideContinue reading “Home Built Cargo Bikes”

Gary Fisher on Bicycling
Firstly I just want to say that I am not trying to promo Gary Fisher bicycles with this short clip, but more specifically bicycles and bicycling in general. It is a clip of Gary Fisher talking passionately about bicycles (but of course promoting his own line of bikes). I just think it’s a great pro-bicycleContinue reading “Gary Fisher on Bicycling”

>Delicate Load
> This is awesome…I came across it at this Pakistani website (click to see other pictures of things carried on bikes). I carry eggs relatively frequently when I grocery shop (a dozen or two at a time) but if my calculations are correct–if a flat of eggs hold the same amount in Pakistan as itContinue reading “>Delicate Load”

> Things that were carried (and pulled) on this particular ride: $121.47 in groceries and sundries, an 8lb. bag of dog food, 3L of red wine, and a gym bag full of wet clothes.

The Meyers Luggage Carrier / Kick-Stand circa 1914
Images found here. The advert says it can carry 100 lbs (45K) plus a 150 lb (68K) rider…not bad. An early cargo bike attachment / conversion. Click the images for a larger view.

Taco Bike
I have always been a proponent of bikes being far more useful than simply a vehicle from getting from point A to point B (though they are really good at that) and this is just another good example. A fellow reader of this blog sent me a link to this and it was just tooContinue reading “Taco Bike”
