>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”

>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)”

>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”

>I was surprised this evening at how warm it was…something like 40F (this is very warm for Buffalo in February). I had a few small shopping errands to run, all of which were well within biking range (I’m still trying to determine what “biking range” is…I suppose it depends on weather conditions in this region,Continue reading “>Evening Ride on the Mundo Yuba”
