Comment by Angus Kingston on February 27, 2010 at 7:33am: You can buy Kona through Trak Cycles Norwood

Comment by Ben Teoh on February 27, 2010 at 7:17am: Ah, cool. I've been keeping an eye on the Kona ute for a little while. Interesting. Is there a Kona distributer in Adelaide?

Comment by Jeremy Miller on February 27, 2010 at 7:12am: The new BikeSA bikes are Kona Africa Bikes http://www.konaworld.com/bike.cfm?content=africabike3
They look pretty solid! Good for a decent city bike :-)

Comment by Ben Teoh on February 27, 2010 at 7:05am: Hey, do you guys know what bikes Bicycle SA are using for their hire bikes? They actually look like really solid utility bikes.

Comment by heather on February 17, 2010 at 1:39pm: Our paths crossed Angus, because I also walked over to inspect the bicycle and its load. Must get a camera phone for recording cycling hazards & pics like this. An example in North Adelaide was a bicycle with attached golf buggy. Another example in Rundle Mall was a tourist with transport that catered for his disability. The vehicle was a mix between bicycle and wheelchair that used arm power rather than leg power.

Comment by Angus Kingston on February 17, 2010 at 12:04pm: I was in the Adelaide CBD parking my bike near the State Library when I saw this overloaded bike nearby. The guy who owned it had just left (with another large backpack). He didn't bother locking it either.. I guess I can understand why.

Comment by Angus Kingston on January 21, 2010 at 8:36am: From the very good Eco Velo Blog. The Yuba Mundo

The Mundo is a dedicated cargo bike with a 440 lb. load capacity (!), 21-speed drivetrain, 48-spoke rear wheel, and utility deck made of recycled milk jugs. It’s known for being the stiffest/strongest among the current crop of “longbikes” (VeloVision described it as, “…a heavy-duty hauler which can carry loads and people in a way that was previously simply beyond a normal bike…”)
