Planning my further route through Botswana and Namibia I decided to get a rear carrier for my bike in Lusaka. I expect long stretches of nothingness in these countries which makes it necessary to carry way more water and food than I was able to carry so far. Finding a robust but lightweight carrier that fits my bike turned out to be a challenge. All the bike shops I checked were selling super heavy solid racks that weren't adjustable and wouldn't fit my bike. Dennis from the Buffalo bikes team introduced me to John who is running a second hand scrap bike workshop. He tried everything possible to bend the super solid carrier from the Buffalo Charger bike to fit my bike in a nightly workshop action...a few hours later two carriers were broken and none mounted on my bike... it simply wouldn't match. John still wanted to help and called Ben, a guy running a road side bike workshop. Then the magic happened... Ben: "Sure man, I have an adjustable lightweight aluminium carrier lying around here...tell him to pass by tomorrow morning!" Next morning a quick operation... finding Ben's road side workshop, mounting the rack - that just fits perfect - and out of Lusaka on the way to Livingstone... #zambia #cyclingzambia #buffalocharger #rack #carrier #thepowerofbicycles #cargobike #workshop #bicyclerepair #velosophics #bikepacking #africa #livingmydreams #neverstopexploring #nevernotriding #adventurelifestyle #adventure #bikes #nightwork #vpacebikes #t2st #ortlieb_waterproof #tubus #bicycleassembly #bikeshop #bicycleworkshop #metalbending #thisisafrica #tia #nightlybuild (hier: Lusaka, Zambia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvGyDprggej/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ni9o78z1m01y
