Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#401)
A jar of peanut butter and a jar of grape jelly…staples in my household. Good thing I was riding a bike that has the ability to carry 440lbs/200kg. To read an article I wrote–some years ago–on the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, click here. To see some of the other things I’ve carried on myContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#401)”
It’s on Its Way
Photo Found Here Just got word from the good people at Yuba that my order is being processed, which I’m assuming means is ready to be shipped. I ordered the bike more than a month ago and had to wait because I ordered the stylish matte black variety. Most of my bikes are paintedContinue reading “It’s on Its Way”
Surf Your Yuba Mundo
I own one of these bikes (as pictured in many posts) and I love it…but don’t expect to see me “surf” on it any time soon (it does look like they’re having fun, though). I found the video at treehugger.
Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#89)
Another bike. Riding my Dahon folder yesterday I heard an odd clicking sound…a minute later the chain fell off the sprocket. Upon inspection I saw that a link had broken. I was going to fix it myself until I found out the bike shop would fix it for a little over ten bucks (new chainContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#89)”
It’s Beyond Me.
Tonight I did a few errands on the Yuba Mundo (had it mildly loaded…see previous post) and was on my way home cruising at a somewhat slow speed. As I crossed this intersection I glanced at the traffic light and the sun was in my eyes. The light apparently had just changed and I putContinue reading “It’s Beyond Me.”
Mundo In An Urban Cornfield…and a few thoughts
Sort of a harrowing ride home tonight…and it was only about a mile or so. First, I’m pulling out of a the driveway of the community center where I swim and there’s a car in the road getting ready to make a left turn into the same driveway. I needed to cross the street (notContinue reading “Mundo In An Urban Cornfield…and a few thoughts”

A big cardboard box full of hardwood scraps. Someone must have put in a new hardwood floor (oak, I think) and put the scraps in a box at the curb…perfect kindling for later this year. And yes, I realize that it is in the middle of summer, but this was just too good to passContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#42)”

Mundo in a (mini) Cornfield
Ahhh…the dog days of summer. This past winter I made a personal commitment to myself during a particularly frigid cold snap (that seemed to last for months) that I would not complain about the heat and humidity no matter how hot and humid it was in the kitchen…today was hot and tomorrow is supposed toContinue reading “Mundo in a (mini) Cornfield”
