This is one rich country-to-poor country help project that actually makes
sense.* The original Buffalo bicycle was a coaster braked singe speed with
front drum, and this one has a SRAM-designed kickback 2-speed system
involving 2 chains, 2 rings, and a 2-cog freewheel.

I’m curious why this setup is more reliable — it’s not more simple, with
double everything in the drivetrain — compared to a kickback coaster brake
hub, esp if you could beef up the internals.

Or a retrodirect …? Seriously, would a beefed-up coaster braked kickback
not be just as reliable?


* The Scandinavians with double-barreled charity programs were big in Kenya
when I was a high school student there in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, and
I went to school with many Danes and Norwegians and Swedes. I fondly
remember Inger Vedel and her sister Karen (little brother Lars? Didn’t pay
as much attention to him.)
