Yes, the xtracycle accessories are wonderful.  But Yuba is working on
it and I can say having had an xtracycle that the Yuba is in a whole
different league.  There is no frame flex at all.  With the xtracycle
I'd have to be careful about what I put on it and how fast I took
bump, etc.  The Yuba has no flex and I've taken speedbumbs with 300
lbs. with narry a shimmy.  The next thing for it is the Down Low Glow.

 Nice, love an orange bike :^). The redesigned Yuba is pretty
 impressive, something like 15lbs. lighter than the original and better
 equipped.  I wish it was (more) compatible with Xtracycle stuff...

An amazing load.  I would have expected you to be a huge athlete or
something.  Amazing how a well designed machine combined with
dedicated people power can get the job done.

 My son and I dropped off the gate at the organic garden we are
 building at our school.

An even more positive story.  You and that handsome young guy are
doing some good and enjoying the ride while doing it.  Definitely
consistent with Riv philosophy.  A great post.
