I ka nānā mua ʻana, ua like ke ʻano o ke kaʻa kaʻa momona me kahi mea e pono ai ke holo ʻana o ka clown kiʻi, ʻo kona nui a me nā pana pua e hōʻike ana i nā kāmaʻa floppy nui i nā kāne me nā pāpale liʻiliʻi.

Ke kūʻai aku nei kekahi mea hana kaʻa kaʻa momona, ʻo Surly, i ka rim huila 4-inihi-ākea i kapa ʻia ʻo "Clown Shoe."

Akā, i loko o nā makahiki he ʻumi a i ʻole mai ka wā i lawe mua mai ai ka hui ʻo Minnesota i kahi kaʻa kaʻa momona i ka mākeke nui, ua loaʻa ka manaʻo koʻikoʻi o nā papa hoʻonohonoho koʻikoʻi me ka mānoanoa a me nā kaʻa knobby i ka honua holo kaʻa - ʻoiai ʻōlelo ka poʻe makemake makemake lākou e holo no ka mea. leʻaleʻa loa lākou.

"Ua like ia me 4 mau makahiki a e holo ana i kāu kaʻa kaʻa mua," wahi a ka kamaʻāina ʻo Santa Rosa ʻo Sebastian Brewer, he ʻelele momona momona.“He mea kupanaha loa.He mea hoʻohenehene, he pupule.

Mai nā kaʻa kaʻa makeshift i ʻākoakoa mua i loko o nā hale kaʻa a me nā hale hana, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea holo kaʻa ma ka ʻĀkau hau hau e makemake nui e hele i waho ma nā huila ʻelua i ka hoʻoilo, ua loaʻa i nā kaʻa kaʻa momona kahi niche i ka mainstream, ʻoi aku ma waena o nā kaʻa kaʻa mauna e like me Brewer.

ʻO kā lākou ākea ākea haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa e hāʻawi i kahi ākea ākea o ka pili ʻana me ka lepo, hāʻawi i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a me ka haʻalulu-absorption ʻoiai e ʻae ana i ka holo ʻana ma ke one, ka hau a me ka lepo, a me ka paʻa ʻana ma ka ʻāina rutted a i ʻole nā ​​​​pōhaku. nā māmā māmā.

ʻOiai he mea hou i loko o ke ao holoʻokoʻa i noho nui ʻia e nā kaʻa kaʻa alanui a me nā ʻokiʻoki, nā kaʻa kaʻa mauna muscular, nā kaʻa momona - ʻo kekahi me nā kaila a hiki i ka 5 iniha ākea - ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo ia ka ʻāpana ulu wikiwiki loa o ka mākeke kaʻa.Loaʻa iā lākou mai nā makamae he nui, ma nā wahi kumu kūʻai he nui, a ma o nā mea a pau mai nā hale kūʻai kaʻa kaʻa e mālama i ka lehulehu hana kiʻekiʻe i nā hale kūʻai kūʻai e like me Kmart.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Miguel Suarez, 36, ka kamaʻāina ʻo Windsor, ua ʻike ʻo ia i kona hoʻāʻo ʻana i hoʻokahi ma kahi o ʻelua mau makahiki i hala ua hāʻule ʻo ia i "aloha."

"E kūʻai ana au i kaʻa kaʻa ... e ho'āʻo ana i nā mea hou a pau," wahi āna."I koʻu wā i ʻike ai i kēlā kaʻa kaʻa momona, ʻike wau ʻo ia kaʻu makemake."

Ua ʻōlelo ʻia nā kaʻa kaʻa momona mua loa i ka wā evolutionary i ka hopena o nā makahiki 1980, ʻo ka huahana o ka pono a me kāna mau keiki i hana ʻia, a me nā manaʻo hou o ka poʻe kaʻa kaʻa i hoʻopaʻa i nā rim maʻamau a me nā kaʻa i hiki iā lākou ke holo ʻelua a ʻekolu. e pili ana i ka hau, ka hau a me ka wao nahele, e hana ana i kahi kapuai ākea e pale aku ai ia lakou mai ke poho.

Ua ʻike nui ʻia nā hoʻokolohua mua ma Alaska, ma ka heihei Iditabike i hoʻokuʻu mua ʻia i ka makahiki 1987, ma hope o ka hopena o nā huahana i hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia, hoʻokahi wale nō i hoʻokahi makahiki a me ka hapa ma hope.

ʻO ka hope loa, hiki mai ka huila ākea a me nā huila i alakaʻi i ka makahiki 2005 i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o Surly's Pugsley, ke kaʻa kaʻa momona mua loa.

Ke hoʻomau nei nā mea hana i ka hoʻokuke ʻana i ka envelopp, e hana ana i nā huila nui aʻe, nā ākea ākea a me nā ʻano like ʻole, e hoʻohui ana i ka hoʻokuʻu piha ʻana i nā papa paʻa.

Ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa, ʻoi aku ka momona o nā kaʻa kaʻa, no laila, ʻo nā hiʻohiʻona hou "e like me ka elepani, nā kaʻa kaʻa momona, ʻoiaʻiʻo," wahi a Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition Executive Director Gary Helfrich.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Helfrich e holo ana ʻo ia i ka 3 1/2-inihi ākea ākea, akā ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻo nā momona ʻoiaʻiʻo " aia i loko o kēlā ʻāpana āu e manaʻo nui ai e kūʻai mai kāu hoaaloha maikaʻi loa, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻaiʻē."

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Tim Anderson, ka luna aupuni no ka Sonoma County Water Agency, ua ʻike ʻo ia i kāna kaʻa kaʻa momona mua ma Truckee ma kahi o hoʻokahi makahiki i hala aku nei akā ua manaʻo ʻo 62 ua ʻelemakule loa e lilo i trendsetter.Ua hōʻoiaʻiʻo kekahi hoaaloha iā ia, a i hoʻokahi mahina i hala aku nei ua kūʻai ʻo ia i kahi e hana ai i kāna huakaʻi ma waena o Fountaingrove a me kāna keʻena ma ke kahua mokulele ʻoihana, ʻākau o ke kūlanakauhale.
"Ua mākaukau wau no kahi manaʻo hou," wahi a Anderson.“He nui nā ʻano e leʻaleʻa ai i ka holo kaʻa, a he ʻike hou loa kēia.Ua hauʻoli loa au iā ia.

ʻO ke kaʻa kaʻa, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka lohi ma mua o ka mea kahiko, maikaʻi nō hoʻi i ka wā e kū ai i ka puʻu 500-kapuaʻi e piʻi ai i kona ala hoʻi.

“He mea kolo haʻahaʻa loa kona, kokoke like me ka tractor.Hiki iaʻu ke wili i ka puʻu i ka pō me ka pilikia ʻole, "wahi āna.

ʻO ka manaʻo o ka poʻe maʻalo he hoʻonanea pū kekahi.

"Hiki mai ka poʻe iaʻu ma kā lākou mau kaʻa, a ʻōwili i koʻu ʻaoʻao a ʻōlelo mai, Aloha ʻoe?ʻO nā keiki ma kā lākou kaʻa i ke kula e nalu mai iaʻu a minoʻaka.… he mea leʻaleʻa ka loaʻa ʻana o ka manaʻo āpau.

ʻAʻole kūʻai ʻia nā mea a pau.

"ʻO ka poʻe makemake nui i kā lākou kaʻa kaʻa momona," wahi a Raphael Sonstein, ka luna ʻenehana ma Mike's Bikes ma Petaluma, "ʻaʻole kēia ko lākou kaʻa kaʻa mua.He mea ʻokoʻa wale nō, a ʻo ia kaʻu manaʻo.
