FAQ: How do you carry small items on the Mundo?

The Mundo’s rear cargo carrier is a chassis that’s ready to be customized for your carrying needs. To carry small things like laptops, donuts, books, fruit, sundries, etc., strap a backpack or messenger bag to the Mundo using cam straps or bungees. If you prefer panniers, check out our other FAQ, which covers mounting options for cycling bags.

Coleman makes a wicked trunk!

Most high quality messenger bags are inherently waterproof, constructed of a vinyl-lined nylon fabric. Subsequently, waterproofing your gear on your Mundo could be as simple as using the bags you already own. Other options include cargo nets (I use these often), semi-permanent or soft-mount carrying cases, as well as storage tubs (e.g., Rubbermaid).

Our favorite cargo box for grocery store runs in the rainy Pacific Northwest is the Coleman 48 quart chest cooler. The Coleman cooler is lightweight, simple to attach, rugged, inexpensive (apx. $25), waterproof, and a dashing shade of blue.
