. . . on a Christiania Trike and an electric Yuba Mundo V4.

To be honest it wasn't the "night" that we were trialling. It just so happened that the evening was the moment in time that we decided would be perfect for trying out some high climbing ability on our Christiania Trike.

My quest to make monkey bars for Mundo led me to research how to bend aluminium. 

I thought this would be a challenge as was concerned with it breaking. However, a quick search on Google found me a couple of very handy articles. 

A calm Wellington day for collecting a new trestle table for using at the Market. This table will feature the wonderful Book Island books.

Its been nearly a couple of months now since Old Blue Mundo headed south in a couple of big boxes to its new home. Old Mundo served me well. It showed me the wonders of cargo biking. I carted kids, friends and the whole family. Groceries, kids bikes and swimming gear. I even got to go on a child free date with my husband.

As cheesy as it sounds, it changed my life, and potentially my kids lives. They know that if we're going somewhere then it's normally by bike. They ask for Mundo and take pleasure in finding their helmets (be it at 7am before everyone else is out of bed) or climbing on themselves. And for me, what fun it is. How versatile, and practical it is. It's how I get around. And is my first choice for short to medium length trips.

Another note on shopping a little differently . . . This time by bike.

Normally I would take the car. But last week I took Mundo. And yes, I had the kids on board as well.

I went for only a few things . . . But it never does quite work out. By the end of the shop even I was starting to have my doubts about everything fitting on the bike. But, somehow it always works out.

Today we rode into town on Mundo and what did we find when we got there? Another Mundo! Kitted out with two soft spots and two sets of stocker bars. What a pleasant surprise.

While parking up a man came up to ask if he could take a photo as his son commutes with kids on a Mundo as well.

Turns out Mundo has a few friends out there in Wellington.

 It's time to farewell old friend Blue Mundo. It's off to Christchurch to haul more cargo for a new owner.

But a bike of this size is a double box pack so today I collected box two. And how else would you collect a bike box on an unusually calm Wellington day? By cargo bike!

The bike that changed my perception of riding and converted me to the world of cargo biking with kids.
