It's true that an Onderwater is a bit heavy to lug up and down stairs, but it's easier than a Bakfiets!...

We saw this one out and about:<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/fletzet/7937560224/elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402752423642292065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682899986857040901.post-30483156099847340392012-09-24T22:01:56.035-05:002012-09-24T22:01:56.035-05:00And "Yuba" is Japanese or Chinese tofu s...And "Yuba" is Japanese or Chinese tofu skin, as used to make mock goose. How this or boda-boda is relevant to a corporation based in Quackenbrück, Germany, is a mystery. I like the Mundo more; less styling. The roadster we had in a post last week might be more typically boda-boda than the Yuba Boda Boda. The Mamachari probably more Yuba. <br /><br />We are absolutely lucky to have so many choices in Chicago. We really wanted to give a little shout to anyone thinking of trying to get one of the bikes he is carrying now while he is taking orders. Sara- where do folks in New Haven go to get their cargo bikes?

...Very cool that Chicago folks have these options.<br /><br />Gotta defend the Boda Boda name though-- comes from the existing name of these types of bikes in Africa, bodaboda taxis in Kenya and Uganda. Love that Yuba referenced these bikes in naming their mid-tail cargo bike!<br /><br />See the explanation of "boda-boda" translating to "border-to-border" here:<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boda-bodasarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02800138092758321499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682899986857040901.post-55015967531199913342012-09-23T22:04:47.441-05:002012-09-23T22:04:47.441-05:00Good question, but I don't know.Good question, but I don't know.Chicargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03166650767505966551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682899986857040901.post-53422008583949407852012-09-23T15:21:59.594-05:002012-09-23T15:21:59.594-05:00Do you worry that Jon is overextending himself by ...Do you worry that Jon is overextending himself by carrying this number of expensive European bikes? They need to be paid for long before they're sold and bringing in a large number of $3000 bikes just before winter can't be a sure bet.
