Like our car, I have a complete protective barrier from the elements to stay comfortable.
Unlike our car, I have studded tires on this vehicle.
Unlike our car, I can pick this vehicle up and move it if it gets stuck.
Unlike our car, most the energy involved goes towards moving me forward, not the vehicle.
Unlike our car, this solution doesn't require a monthly payment with interest just to get groceries.
Following up on the popular rolling with a rice cooker photo, here's "rolling with an Instant Pot". It's a digital pressure cooker, rice cooker and slow cooker all rolled into one.
We had just borrowed it to try and I was impressed. I used it to make a bean and potato chili and was able to start with dry beans, raw potatos. It also has a "Sautee" button, so I used that to start the recipe off, and then threw everything else in and pressed the "Bean/Chili" button. After just about 30 minutes of pressure cooking it automatically put itself on "warm" mode and started to pressurize.
The pressure cooker will also speed up cooking brown rice. I expect we will trade in our rice cooker for one of these.
And hey, with Yuba's Bread Basket, you can still take the 6.6 quart model to an event full or empty with some room to spare!
She's started blogging! See her latest post at comments I get when cargo biking with kids.
Bloomington's 45/46 bypass is a busy 4 lane arterial road wide side paths on both sides for walking and cycling.
Our family rides on them frequently. While we don't enjoy riding near all the traffic, it's a safe direct route to some of our regular destinations.
A single Go Getter bag on the Mundo easily swallowed a small cartful of
groceries, about 35 pounds total.
When I stopped at the park I went to reposition the bike for a photo and nearly
lost my balance-- I hadn't realized how loaded and heavy it was groceries
because it had been handling so well when my wife rode it, and with the
electric assist there was nothing visibly slower about it.
Since Saturday the Mundo has continued to see new daily duties. It now
delivering the family to play groups, day care and the like-- errands
previously performed by car.
I'll write more later about the differences between how these two kid & cargo bikes worked for our family, but here's a comparison shot to start to with.
Indiana has a reputation for being flat, but our part of the state has rolling hills like the one valley seen here.
She's carrying about 50 lbs of gear plus a 35 pound child. It might have been about 40 pounds of gear before she passed the "free squash" sign on a country road.
He's carrying maybe 100 lbs of gear or more plus another 85 lbs of children.
The trip was about 30 miles each way over rolling southern Indiana hills and back roads.
This mural is behind MCS....I was too lazy to find out what it is all about, but I thought it was well done and extraordinary.
Here's another view of our combination of Mundo accessories.
Notably, because the Go Getter bags have been offset to the rear, they over-hang the rear of the rack some and obscure the tail light, which is now recessed about 6" or more. The taillight would be difficult to see unless a car was directly behind us. This could be addressed by mounting the wired tail light on the rear of kid seat, or using clip-on battery powered lights on the bags or the child seat.
Zooming in, you can see that both bags are hooked to the rack at the absolute rear. This required trimming down the Utility Deck, as seen in a nearby photo. You can also see that the fit only allows for one of the two rear hooks to be attached. The bags are still very usable without all the attachment points, their capacity just can't be maxed out, which is a fine trade-off for adding the child seat.

The Yuba Mundo is not as sand friendly as I thought it would be. I really wanted to go riding on the beach. I could have probably ridden on the denser wet parts near the shore, but then I'd have to drag my beast a few hundred feet (eh).
It does weigh over 65 pounds right now and add me, the rider, and yeah...it sinks.
Well deserved, methinks. ST3 wouldn't be here now if it weren't for my new friend. :-)

The Yuba Go Getter bag for the Mundo Cargo Bike has arrived! I took it for its maiden voyage today and stopped at Trader Joe's. The Go Getter will swallow up two large shopping bags with ease. Think of a messenger bag that's about 4 times larger than the biggest one you've ever seen, then you get the idea. Shoulder strap included. Get one at www.rockthebike.com
Well this is a nice "Throwback Thursday"! Three years ago the Sound Transit 3/ST3 team was presenting at Everett Station to get feetback. You can relive the event here at flic.kr/s/aHskz4HrMr . Hope you don't mind the Kodachrome old school tones on these photos ;-).
GO SOUND TRANSIT!
