I just snapped this photo from my front porch a few minutes ago. Beautiful, isn’t it? But I’m still shaking a little…my nerves are frazzled. Not because of the photo or beautiful sky of course, but because of what happened a little while ago. I was on my way home from the local pizzeria withContinue reading “Red Sky at Night”

Red Sky at Night
I just snapped this photo from my front porch a few minutes ago. Beautiful, isn’t it? But I’m still shaking a little…my nerves are frazzled.

The Yuba Mundo (four generations)
This post is for all the Mundo riders out there (and other velophiles who are interested in cargo bikes). First I have to ask a silly question…what’s a good word for us; people who ride Mundo cargo bikes? Bicyclists is not specific enough. Mundonians? Yubonians? Yubites? Mundoners? Any, all, or none, I suppose. Sometimes myContinue reading “The Yuba Mundo (four generations)”

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”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#324), and a couple comments
A large double-wide wicker chair. Every so often I wonder if it isn’t over-kill to a certain extent that I ride a 7ft cargo bike as my everyday bike (though it still is my most comfortable). Then I come across treasures like this and remember why it is so handy to be riding a cargoContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#324), and a couple comments”
Long Bikes
Here’s a question to other Mundo/Xtracycle/Long-Bike/Cargo-Bike riders. How often do people ask you what the deal is with your bike? With me it seems almost on a daily basis (at least during the warmer weather when more people are outside). Cargo bikes are not very popular in my neck of the woods, so I supposeContinue reading “Long Bikes”

A Deflated Situation, a Built-In Tire Jack, and a Question to other Yuba Mundo Riders
So there I was a few days ago pedaling along on my way to church on Easter Sunday when I noticed it was getting a little difficult to pedal. Odd, I thought…no wind to speak of; no incline. Then I felt the tell-tale sway and heard the sound of a deflating tire sagging against theContinue reading “A Deflated Situation, a Built-In Tire Jack, and a Question to other Yuba Mundo Riders”

>It’s Not Always About the Destination or How Much I can Carry…
> …sometimes it’s just about the ride. With the weather starting to break I’ve been riding my winter bike less and the Mundo more…and for a while (during the deepest, darkest, and coldest days of winter) I nearly forgot how lovely and beautiful this bike is to ride.

Wet…but a nice short ride
This has without question been an odd winter. The temperatures and snow have been fluctuating daily…and somewhat extremely (I think). Yesterday it was frigid, for example, but today it is warm and rainy; tomorrow the temp is supposed to drop again and bring with it more snow. This is something like the third time thisContinue reading “Wet…but a nice short ride”

A Cold and Snowy Ride on the Mundo…and a few things I saw and experienced.
This past week I’ve had off work (have to go back tomorrow…not looking forward to it) and because of the very cold weather that has returned I’ve been in a sort of hibernation mode and have only using bikes for very short rides (and have been using my truck more than I like). At anyContinue reading “A Cold and Snowy Ride on the Mundo…and a few things I saw and experienced.”

Mundo with Bread Platform
Though it may look like it, that is not my Mundo pictured above. These are pictures sent in from Dan, a reader of this blog and fellow Mundo rider (thanks Dan!). During the course of posts, comments, and virtual conversation, a few of us were curious as to how the Mundo bread platform mounted toContinue reading “Mundo with Bread Platform”
