Quoted from another website in Kenya:
"Jua kali literally means hot sun in Kiswahili, and refers to the informal small traders who work outdoors in the sun fabricating mostly work metal and wood items, fixing cars and other household items. Unable to afford new tools they fabricate their own out of locally available materials." I found this site from C.S. (thanks).
These people make cool cargo bikes with limited source of materials. Kinda like Rat Builders. I had this idea for a while so I think this is as good a time as any to play it out.
I have no pictures. By the time I choose one of my two frames someone will have their's nearly done. Lot of guys are hot to trot, me?.......I'm going to start out slow and ease off a bit before I slowly pick up a pace that will end up with a mad rush for the due date. It's never failed me yet, I'm not changing.
The bike will have some paint and some "Mitumba", yeah some mitumba and will become a very usefull and outstanding cargo bike. Rat Rod? Good question.
