The Mundo has landed

It's finally here!
Boy the Yuba Mundo is a beast of a bike. Although it comes across like a wolf in sheep's clothing. The front of it looks like a regular bike, nothing special. Eyes are then drawn to its rear. Here is an immense amount of scaffolding and an enormous rack. It just keeps going on and on. This spider web of metal work is why I chose this bike.
Let me explain. As soon as the Yuba arrived chez Doctor Bewell it felt as if it had always been with us. Like a trusty dog or that well loved sofa.

First run was to collect Gabriel from the childminder. As soon as he clapped his eyes on the Orange monster, in a flash, he was sat in his special seat, right at the tail end of the Yuba with the biggest smile on his face. At the end of a long day he normally has a much less positive demeanor.
Next trip was a across town for the possibility of bike spare part bargains. I loaded the Mundo with assorted straps just in case. The bike sailed effortlessly over the snow and I quickly forgot about about the volume of steel behind me.
The next ride was the first real test of what the Yuba can do. Suzi saddled up behind me and we rolled to the shops to get provisions for the next 4 days. In the picture you can see straddling the shopping bags the other half, a bit like Lady Muck. I reckon there was around 80 - 90kg on the back of the Orange work horse. This weight is really nothing for the Yuba, it can carry more than double that. Yes, yes the bike and load was heavy so, I flicked up the gear range. What was amazing was just how sturdy the Mundo is. No flex, no wobble, it just gets on with it and rolls into action, smoothly.

The wife has already accepted the Mundo into the family and without prompting, suggested how the Yuba could be incorporated into our next hol. Amélie has asked to be chauffeured to a party tomorrow by Mundo and Gabriel has made sure everyone knows the throne is his.

The Yuba has definitely been the right choice for the family.
