Profile Design's E Pack

Cole has one of these and he let me use it on our mini-tour, and it would've been a pain in the ass without it- and actually, ever since we got back, it has been a little bit of a pain in the ass without one! Read more...

Yuba Mundo

I've had a lot more time with the Mundo now and have had a few other people take it out for spin, and feel I gave it a good test and here is what I have found out.

First, its amazing how many things you'll use this bike for. I'm sure when you're thinking of buying one you will ask yourself "how much will I really use it?". Well I'm here to say a lot! Read More...

Yuba Go Getter Pannier

Along with the Mundo I received a go-getter pannier. This pannier is designed for the Mundo, but the site says it could be used with other long tails. The pannier is easy enough to attach- you just clip four straps around the tube of the rack and you're ready to go. Read more...

Wald 157 giant delivery basket

I talked to Wald about sending a basket our way- they said sure and asked what we were thinking- my exact words were “the bigger the better”.

I was thinking I could use it to take orders to the post office and what not. The idea was to put it on my fixed gear- a run around the city bike. This basket showed up and when they say giant they’re not kidding. I could carry an eighth grader in this thing.

Arkel OD Utility Basket Pannier UPDATE!

I was talking with Arkel before our mini-tour, and they were going to send a nice set of rear waterproof panniers- only problem, someone was using them at the time, and they didn't show up in time either, so I went with what I had, and that was Arkel's OD Utility Basket Pannier. Read More...

Talk to y'all soon- Ride safe! ...And enter the contest!

o.k. -so i'm late. this has been a problem throughout my entire life. all through school, through jobs, whatever it is- no matter how hard i try to be on time it just doesn't happen. this would be one of those times... but we're all laid back, right? we're all still kool & the gang if ya know what i'm sayin... and if ya don't- just relax, sit back, and learn about a couple new products out on the market that you might want to know a little more about. this week, cole's got an intro review for YUBA's MUNDO bike and i've got a review up for BOOQ'S new TAIPAN PACK! both really rad... so i hope those perk your interest and you'll excuse my lateness...or late-nightness (i've always considered it to be the same day until i go to bed, which unfortunately doesn't work out so well on the rare occasion i pull an all-nighter...).

i'm really excited about the BRENTWOOD helmet that came from BERN today!!! you'll hear about that and much more very soon!!!

have a great night...or day. i'm going to bed.

goodnight-

I was totally excited when Fedex showed up today! I tore open the box
and pulled out what was soon to be (after some assembly) the Yuba
Mundo. I'll put it through its paces and let you all know what we
think. Hmmmmm... not what can I haul, but better yet, what can't i
haul!?!
