I came across this at the Yuba Mundo blog. They are offering free and very simple plans to make your own skirt guard (pdf download). They’re promoting it as a tool to make it safer to carry people on the back of the bike, which it surely would, but I think it will probably beContinue reading “Do-It-Yourself Side Panels For The Mundo”

Another Reason To Like Yuba Bikes
I just read that Yuba bikes are offering a stripped down version of their Mundo for $899. What’s really awesome is that when you purchase one of these bikes they donate a complete bike to Wheels4Life, a charity that offers free bikes to those in need in third world countries. The following is cut-and-paste fromContinue reading “Another Reason To Like Yuba Bikes”
How I Built Running Boards For My Yuba Mundo (and it cost next-to-nothing)
This is really a continuation (albeit almost two years late) of a post showing how I built a top deck for my v1 Mundo (click here to see that post). After building that top deck I had always intended on building sideboards but never got around to do it. The new v3 Mundo makes itContinue reading “How I Built Running Boards For My Yuba Mundo (and it cost next-to-nothing)”
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”
Yuba Mundo For Sale
Yes the beloved Mundo is for sale…it has been for about a week or so. I love this bike, the only reason I am selling it is to offset costs of the new v3 model I recently ordered. The new one should ship out in about a month…so I feel I should get moreContinue reading “Yuba Mundo For Sale”
One Dollar For George
I came across this blog today and am intrigued. The blog is called, One Dollar For George, and they are trying to raise money for a Yuba Mundo for George (in the photo…there’s a little bit about him on their blog). I thought about sending them a small donation, but am not sure. Does anyoneContinue reading “One Dollar For George”
Mundo For Sale (Camping Gear Not Included)
Photo taken August 2009 Yup, it’s true…the Mundo is for sale. And no, it’s not that I don’t enjoy it any longer or that I’ve grown tired of it; on the contrary. I just ordered a newer version; a 21 speed…sleek black color which will be available in mid-March. So I’m selling this one toContinue reading “Mundo For Sale (Camping Gear Not Included)”
Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#114)
Approximately $110 in groceries from two different stores in four plastic crates. I always love the comments I get while riding the Yuba Mundo…invariably there are some, particularly when it’s loaded. On my way home today, for example, I was waiting at a red light when a car rambled up that seemed barley able toContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#114)”
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.
Are You Kidding Me (again)?
I first wrote a post with this same title a few months ago regarding a $500 handlebar bag (click here to read that post). Anyhow, for anyone that carries large items on a bike (be it a longtail or not) you know the difficulties of keeping the bike standing when it is loaded but youContinue reading “Are You Kidding Me (again)?”

A case of canned dog food (12 cans).4 dumbbells with a combined weight of 36 pounds.Two shirts.A roll of paper towels.A newspaper.A U-lock.A cable lock.A wooden box containing, among other things, two bottles of water, a pair of pliers, two wrenches, a screwdriver, and a tape measure.
Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#42)
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)”
Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#39)
24 Mason jars.An 80 foot garden hose.A gym bag full of wet clothes.3 rolls of paper towels. I always enjoy the comments and looks I get riding this bike, especially when it’s loaded…but I received one of the best comments today while riding down trendy Elmwood Avenue during peak rush hour. It was from aContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#39)”

Two plastic soda crates full of groceries.
Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#28)
Six heavy logs (next winter’s firewood). I came across these logs in the trash on my way home from the gym this evening (hence the gym bag)…while some may just see trash…I saw next year’s fuel. I only took half of them because that’s all I felt I could safely carry (believe-it-or-not I actually knowContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#28)”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#20)
A large, slightly cracked terracotta planter…a nice size for a tomato plant. A kitchen sink…another addition to my dream of an outdoor kitchen this summer. (Bikes can carry everything and the kitchen sink)
