Putting a v1 Mundo To The Test

This is a pretty interesting video, especially if you own a cargo bike or Mundo (which I know many of you do). It’s a nine-minute clip of a guy carrying 400lbs of bananas from the Weaver Street Market to a free market…he does it but it looks pretty shaky. It’s still an interesting clip toContinue reading “Putting a v1 Mundo To The Test”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#166), and a few comments

A gym bag full of wet clothes.A bag of dog food.Eight AA batteries.A small brick of cheddar. Yes I’m carrying a small block of cheese on a bike…I know there’s a metaphor here somewhere but it hasn’t come to me yet. My point is this: carrying these small, odd, and random things on a bikeContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#166), and a few comments”

The Buddy Bike

I’ve been seeing this bike parked outside Campus Wheel Works for the past few weeks and it’s intrigued me; the brand name on it is Buddy Bike.

>Lebanese Inspired Pizza

> This isn’t so much a pizza as it is a sort of Middle Eastern flat-bread with flavoring ingredients on it (but then again that’s what pizza is, isn’t it…bread with stuff on it). What this is really is a variation of the Lebanese za’atar bread with a few other ingredients…and geeze o’ man isContinue reading “>Lebanese Inspired Pizza”

A Few Einstein Quotes

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.” “There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.” “Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only after death.” “In the middle of difficulty liesContinue reading “A Few Einstein Quotes”

Take The Poll.

If you’ve previously visited this blog you know that as the name suggests it is my feeble attempt at recording my thoughts and promoting living simply in the city…using a bicycle as a serious and viable form of transportation is a large component of this (I think). Anyhow, the month of May is National BikeContinue reading “Take The Poll.”
