Increased Capacity
If you've been to this blog before you know that I ride a bike as often as I can, not great distances or in races but for my everyday transportation around town...and I also like to carry stuff on my bikes, whatever stuff a person would normally carry in their car. Besides my cargo bike (Yuba Mundo) I also have a few other bikes, most of which are equipped with a hitch for a BicycleR Evolution Trailer. The Mundo's frame isn't built to accommodate a trailer and I've been trying to figure out how to attach it for a while. Sometimes, I suppose, a 7ft bike is simply not big enough (most cargo bikers will agree, I'm sure) and that one can always carry more things with their own human power. Anyhow, I finally figured out to attach a spare hitch (and it was actually pretty simple). I took it for a test ride tonight while empty...and as usual the Mundo handled exceptionally well; I really could not even tell I was pulling a trailer. I likely won't use it often but it is nice to know it's available when I need it. And when I do...I'll post pictures. I'd enjoy hearing from other cargo bikers regarding their experiences pulling a trailer.
Urban Simplicity.
