A Great Example

I came across this short video at Streetsblog. It’s really a great example of someone trying (and succeeding, in my eyes) to make a difference. Not only is he an avid cyclist, but in the cafe that he owns he offers indoor (yes, indoor) bike parking. He also says he opened his cafe to supportContinue reading “A Great Example”

No Car Necessary

It’s an inspiring article (and short video below) regarding, not surprisingly, cargo bikes. I’ve been interested in carryingContinue reading “No Car Necessary”

Something I Could Have Carried On My Bike

Two More Beauties (and a something a little odd).

OK, first a couple things, and this is to my fellow Yuba Mundo riders out in the blogesphere. I am not planning on selling my Mundo, nor am I comparing these bikes to it…I love my Mundo and think they are truly unique and versatile bikes (not to mention the most comfortable bike I’ve ridden).Continue reading “Two More Beauties (and a something a little odd).”

A Real Beauty

If I were a wealthy guy–which I’m not–or if I had a disposable income–which I don’t–I’d buy one of these beauties. It’s a Batavus Personal Delivery Bike…looks like a shorter version of a cargo bike to me. Never rode one but have seen them in a bike shop in Toronto…they’re like a work of art.Continue reading “A Real Beauty”

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”

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)”

Ride A Bike That You Truly Like

I know this may seem silly, but the other day as I was happily pedaling around town on my Mundo the words of the title to this post came to me: Ride a bike that you like. It may seem obvious, but I don’t think it’s overtly so. Now this too may be a rashContinue reading “Ride A Bike That You Truly Like”
