Sometimes I Forget…
Sometimes I forget. Often actually. And it’s easy to do because I’m on it everyday. What I’m talking about is my bike, or at east one of them. Specifically I am talking about the Mundo and how long it is (or at least how different it is from most other bikes); that it is aContinue reading “Sometimes I Forget…”

Cargo Bike Revolution
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”

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”

Bread Bikes
Before I started this blog I had another blog waayyy back in 2006 or 2007…that’s like light-years ago in Internet time. Anyhow, it was when I was toying with starting a blog, and it was, for a very short time, called The Biking Baker…seeing how I like to bike and bake. I even had thoughtsContinue reading “Bread Bikes”

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 it doesContinue 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.
