Kids and the Yuba Mundo
A couple days ago, we grabbed some after school snacks in a "kombini" and rode to a nearby park to eat. For some reason, the boys didn`t like the looks of the park`s benches - so they plopped right down on the Yuba Mundo`s sideloaders and proceeded to enjoy their kara-age and ice cream.

Finally!
It`s been over two months since the accident, but at long last, the bike is finished. Picked it up this morning and and took it for a short ride to Yamashita Park.
"Big Dumb Yuba" - New Surly Big Dummy Fork and Salsa Gordo rims.
New Tioga threadless headset and Bazooka adjustable stem. Sweet!
BUT...what is wrong with the above picture?
Highlight to reveal answer -- > They put the #%$&!#*!!ing stem on upside down! sheesh.
OK - no big deal.
The bike rides great and, after changing the handlebar position a bit, it feels very comfortable. So, aside from above mentioned screw-up, which I can take care of, I`m very pleased with the end result. It definitely sucked not having the bike around for 2 months and dealing with the insurance company was a big PITA, but after all that, I think I ended up with one helluva nice ride.

yuba night ride
After a long work day it`s nice to jump on the Yuba and go for a "decompression" ride around Yokohama. The pent up stress of the day melts away as I pedal through the old narrow streets and lanes of Kannai or Noge and the futuristic "Blade Runner" type scenery of Minato Mirai.

Yuba Mundo
My new Yuba Mundo! The Mundo, with it`s 200 kg load capacity, should be up to the task of hauling folding bikes to "Yokohama Rides and Rentals" customers.
In addition, I placed an order for four Pacific Carryme folders for the new rental bike biz today.
Pacific Carryme in NYC - some nice photos illustrating the many ways the Carryme can enhance a tourist`s sightseeing experience.
Still thinking about other bikes to offer rental customers.
