Traveling to Cancun is a jump and hop from the US, then suddenly you step out into glorious heat and sunny days. The Yucatán Peninsula, where Cancun is located, is a popular winter destination–from December to February–when people swap snow-capped mountains for sandals and turquoise water. Summer holidays in Cancun get busy, too, but you must love humidity and bursts of rainfall.
Cancun is not everyone's type of taco. Some travelers run straight to the less developed Tulum, or these days, even farther to Bacalar to escape the crowds. Some happily fall into the middle ground of Playa de Carmen. The general rule is that the coastline gets less crowded the farther south you go. Some say that the translation of the Mayan word Cancun is "pot of snakes", and you might just feel that way with the nightlight and hotel skyline.
Cancun's hotel zone is a skyrise wall that rises up from the city's most easterly beaches, meaning many hotels get clear ocean views. The peninsula is virtually self-contained with restaurants, attractions and even a ruined pyramid within walking distance. You could happily spend all of your days visiting different beaches, snorkelling, drinking margaritas, and maybe even take a tour to an island, a cenote or the Chichen Itza ruins. Some people don't make it past their all-inclusive resort offerings, but that would be a shame. In downtown Cancun you can get a taste of real Mexico, with local taquerias, hand-craft markets, and color everywhere.

Top Five Things To Do In Cancun
If you manage to fit in at least one thing from this list, you'll leave Cancun with an amazing memory.
Surrealistic Snorkeling at the Underwater Museum
Discover more than 500 immersed sculptures in the underwater world of MUSA (Museo Subacuatico de Arte or Cancun Underwater Museum), making it the largest underwater sculpture museum in the world. See the eerily beautiful work of sculpture Jason deCaires Taylor, and all the sealife that have made this museum their home.
Swim With Whale Sharks or Dolphins
The annual migration of 12-meter whale sharks–just a giant fish, despite the name–is one of Mexico's most spectacular natural phenomen. You'll need to take a boat to the north-west area of the Caribbean ocean, either from Holbox or Cancun, where you jump in and snorkel among these gentle giants from June to September. You can also swim with dolphins in Cancun. EcoColor is a company with 18 years experience of doing whale shark tours, with a sustainable practices (Enter the code MEXLOCAL to receive a 10% discount when you book here.)
Visit a Natural Cenote
Cenotes, underwater sinkholes and caves, are the uniqiue natural wonders that scatter all along the Yutucan coast. There are no cenotes in Cancun, but closeby you could visit several cenotes in a day: Zapote, Popol Vuh, K'aak, Lu'um, Lik' or Ha Alux. The nicer cenotes are typically farther away. Close to Playa del Carmen you can find several cenotes close together–Azul, Eden, Cristalino and Tajma Ha. Closer to Cancun is Cenote La Noria, near the village of Puerto Morelos, and Cenote Verde Lucero includes a few activities. If you head to Chichen Itza, it's not much farther to jump into the area's beautiful cenotes: Cenote Ik Kil, Xcan Ché, Samula, Suytun, Kankirixche, Dzitnup, and Zaci. You'll also find plenty of tourist brochures to adventure parks mixed with cenote tourism. They offer fun and unique choices – and you'll pay for it, at around $80–100 per person.
Hang on a beach
The main beaches include Playa Marlin in the hotel zone. Playa Tortugas is near the Isla Mujeres ferry and, together with Playa Ballenas, these beaches are great if you want to do aquatic sports. Playa Cac Mool and Playa Delfines for those seeking less people, absent hotel services – and the colorful Cancun sign. If you're looking for umbrellas, Playa Las Perlas has a small beach area.
Try Yucatan food
Mexican food is regionally varied, but Yucateca food is one of the cuisines that has dominated Mexico. Try 'cochinita pibil', a slow-roasted pork meat, or the unique relleno negro, a pre-hispanic salsa made from charcoal chilis, typical eaten with turkey.
Know Before You Go to Cancun
Cancun has been a touristic hotspot for many years – and that's exactly you get. You'll find developed hotel areas, good services, spring breakers and higher prices than normal. That sounds like the ideal holiday for plenty of people, but if you have the time and a little sense of adventure, head out to smaller towns to get a closer look at what Mexico is so famous for – a relaxed lifestyle, great hole-in-wall cuisine at unbelievable prices, and natural wonders pocketed all over the coastline.
It's been a safe haven for many years, and police roadchecks are a familiar sight along the coastline driving towards Tulum. But, like anywhere, travel smart. Watch your belongings, especially if you leave them on a beach. If a police tries to ask for a 'mordida' (bribe), feel free to ask to call your consulate or talk to their managing officer and don't be pressured into paying big fines for nothing.
Find a round-a-bout transfer rate so you don't get stuck into over-paying: 10 pesos is around a dollar )bottle of water), 100 pesos is about 5 dollars (a drink, some taco), 1000 pesos about 70$ (starting prices for a night's accommodation, or an airport taxi).
Don't be afraid to try local food, but don't eat without caution. Check that the place is scrubbed down, the kitchen clean, that the food is cooked while you wait, and a line of people.
Generally don't drink from the taps, but ice is usually fine and made with filtered water.
Where to Stay in Cancun
If you plan to spend most of your time outside the city, there's decent budget accommodation around the airport or along the main road leading to the airport. In any case, the airport is only 15km from the town centre,
For a beach holiday, the hotel strip is where many people stay, with a 'resort' vibe and tall buildings along the manmade shore.
There are newer hotels sprouting around the mongrove and golf areas, meaning you don't see the beach but you do get a view with a lower pricetag.
Several towns are close enough to enjoy local life and still pop into Cancun for the day, such as Playa de Carmen or Puerto Morelos.
Transport To Cancun
Be prepared to pay premium tourist prices for a taxi from the airport, costing $40–60 for a private taxi, or more if it's late at night or you stay at an expensive hotel. Some vendors might try to put up their prices, so ask around and don't feel pressured to take the first offer–others will charge per person, with no option for bargaining. Once you're in the hotel zone, even if you return back to the airport, prices are much less, more like $5–$20 dollars.
With those prices, hiring a car is not a bad option if mobility is attractive to you. It's also easy enough to drive to Chitchen Itza, so you can also avoid high tour prices.
There are also regular and modern buses running to several points in the city, some with internet. Ado has first-class, air-conditioned buses that sell tickets on the day; you can get cheaper tickets from Mayab or Playa Express, but may need to book a day in advance. You can also take the small, shared vans (colectivo) at any time. Buses run around every 20–30mins, except for the early morning hours (around 12am to 4am).
Where to Eat in Cancun
- Du Mexique – French meets Mexican food
- La Dolce Vita – an Italian restaurant with a Three Diamonds Award.
- Marinero – authentic Mexican food, known for its fresh seafood.
- Puerto Madero – great views, interesting architecture and a mix of Latinamerican and Italian food.
- La Habichuela – now with two locations, the original has been in the business since the 70s.
Cancun Travel Tips
- Summer clothes – it's hot and humid most of the year.
- Regardless of whether it's summer or winter, take at least one thing light for cooler weather.
- You can save money bringing your own snorkel and mask–and there's plenty to occup you–otherwise there are plenty of rentals.
- You'll find major supermarkets here for anything you forget; Playa del Carmen even has Walmart. Some main supermarkets in Cancun are Chedauri, Soriana, and Superama.
- It's tropical – you will get rained on if you travel to Cancun between May and. But the rain is short-lived and even refreshing, so you can sometimes just wait out the downpours.

Deciding to partner with a developer is a major step in your design or agency business. Often times designers have a concern about whether their design will look like their mockups.
I totally get it you want the designs you work so hard to put together to look like you intended. Well, there are some practices that really help your developer nail your design to the vision you made.
They are easy to implement and can save a bunch of frustration. Let's start with the basics.
Have A Meeting to Discuss Your Designs
It's important to meet and actually go over your design with the person or team you intend to work with it. Especially if you are passing over any elaborate designs that are outside the normal or typical format.
Plus it's just great to meet to ensure everyone is on the same page to get any questions addressed.
Maybe some changes need to be made or it's completely outside the scope of the project.
Reduce surprises by meeting to have a discussion.
Use Industry Standard Tools to Create Your Designs
Industry standard design tools can help communicate design elements between you and your developer. Such as correct pixel sizes, typography selections, color codes, etc.
Which are all important and ensuring your designs are reflected correctly when translated into a website.
Industry standard design tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, XD, Sketch and others allow you set the website dimensions of your design for various screen sizes. By properly setting your mockup dimensions to match the standard screen sizes, your heading titles, paragraph font sizes, etc will be more accurate.
For example, I've received design mockups where the font size for titles are 150px. Which on an actual website is way too big. Leaving me to either touch base with the designer for the correct size or guessing an appropriate font size.
Related posts:
The more accurate your mockups are the better your designs can be translated by your developer.
Also, make sure your developer is familiar with the tools you are using, this will cut down on a lot of development time and reduce errors. Definitely, have this discussion during the discovery phase of your partnership.
Provide a Brand Style Guide
A brand style guide is great for helping to reference essential brand elements such as the correct brand fonts, hex codes for colors, logo elements, etc.
It also serves as a backup just in case the mockups are not properly scaled to screen sizes.
As a developer I like to have a brand style guide to quickly reference to double check that the brand colors are consistent, heading titles are properly sized and on brand.
One hex color letter or number off can make a dramatic difference no matter how close the colors are.
Use Video to Communicate Interactivity
I love technology and with the invention of screen capturing tools, recording a quick video is easier than ever.
Use a tool such as Loom or CloudApp to record your desired outcome your design mockups. Such as any hover state changes, parallax effects, custom content, etc.
This will help set a clearer explanation to your developer how your designs are intended to work. Plus it serves as a reference point in case something is forgotten.
Receiving a design that matches your mockups is essential your overall client experience. Use these tips as a reference before your next collaboration.

TD Canada Trust EasyWeb
Hi there. Started a trial a few days ago and cannot linked most of my financial accounts, particularily my main account with TD Canada Trust EasyWeb. I can log into EasyWeb itself using the same credentials, no issue.
I am also unable to link my Equitable Bank account, and my PayPal account. The only bank account I have been able to link is one with Tangerine bank that I just opened and have not used yet.
I'm excited to start using YNAB, but that would require being able to link my accounts first :(
I have been trying on Google Chrome, Firefox, Linux & OSX, Android App, for the past 5 days.
Any ideas?
We're closing out Bank Importing threads in the forum to make sure these issues are better resolved.
I made sure each person that has commented on this thread is on our list and we'll reach out via email once this issue has been resolved.
Replies in this thread have been turned off, but if you're having trouble with your bank, please fill out this form and our Direct Import team will help you get things back up and running! :)
Hi Lavender Mare !
I'm so sorry you are having trouble, especially as you are first starting out! We'll get this figured out. 😉
It looks like you reached out to [email protected] , and Angela got back to you about your TD Canada Trust connection! It's quite the direct import problem child at the moment. 😞
As for your Paypal connection, it looks like it's hitting a temporary error, so don't hesitate to reach out if it doesn't resolve itself in the next day or two. 😊
Forgot to add this in my first message.
Also just wanted to figure out what is the best way to handle my trial period for now. Should I un-link all of my accounts and delete this trial account for now? YNAB will ask me to purchase a subscription in 17 days and judging by the slow resolution progress it might take a few more months to solve this connection problem. By the way I have no problem connecting my TD Canada Trust EasyWeb account with mint.com.
Wondering if I can also be sent a notice when the TD direct import issues are resolved. I don't bank with TD at the moment (so it isn't currently affecting me), but my fiancee and I are going to be joining accounts before too long, and TD will probably be the bank we go with. Easier to budget together when we can use the app together!
YNAB is working very well for me, especially the Budgeting process.
I was so happy with the trial that I bought a subscription anyway even though I knew links to my TD accounts would not work.
I'm finding that manual importing is time-consuming and fraught with errors, so I would really appreciate the ability to connect to my TD Canada Trust accounts.
Please let me know how long it will be before YNAB resolves this issue.
Hello, I recently started the YNAB trial, but I bank almost entirely with TD Canada Trust so the app isn't very useful without these accounts syncing (if it needs to be done manually, I can stick to my budget spreadsheet in Excel...).
How do I go about putting my trial on hold until I can use the app? I would also like to be notified once it becomes possible to sync with TD Canada Trust (Easy web).

In its recent update of Fitbit App, the company has finally rolled out Support for Fitbit Ionic for its Windows 10 App for both PC and Mobile. This will let you transfer music from your PC to Ionic so you can listen to the songs without using the phone. The update also includes performance improvement which is probably still needed for its app on the Android platform as well.
Below is the changelog:
- You can now create playlists to download to Fitbit Ionic using the new drag-and-drop feature in the Windows 10 desktop app. First, create a playlist, then drag and drop the songs you want to include. For more information, see How do I listen to music and podcasts on my Fitbit watch?
- You can no longer change a playlist while music is transferring.
- We fixed a problem where some customers couldn't confirm their Strava account on Ionic.
- We fixed some bugs and made stability improvements.
You will need to have your Fitbit Ionic connected over Bluetooth using the adapter that came along with your Fitbit Ionic. The option to create the playlist was already available with its App on Mac around the time device was announced.

17th October 2018
The European Composer and Songwriter Alliance (ECSA) represents over 50,000 professional composers and songwriters in 26 European countries. With 57-member organisations across Europe, the Alliance speaks for the interests of music creators of art and classical music (contemporary), film and audiovisual music, as well as popular music. The main objective of the Alliance is to defend and promote the rights of authors of music at the national, European and international levels by any legal means. It advocates for equitable commercial conditions for composers and songwriters and strives to improve social and economic development of music creation in Europe.
In May 2017, the European Commission published a proposal for a regulation establishing the Creative Europe Programme 2021-2027 ("the Proposal"). ECSA welcomes the Proposal and its budget of €1.85bn as a positive first step in the right direction. However, we regret that its budget is still limited to 0,16% of the overall EU budget, out of which only one third (31%) is allocated to the culture strand. This not only doesn't reflect the European cultural and creative sector's contribution to the economy (4,4% of EU GDP and 12 million jobs) but also doesn't take into consideration the positive impact of culture on education, promotion of democratic principles and external relations that help increase social cohesion, equality and artistic freedom. The culture sector has increasingly proven itself to be a source of job creation, contributing to growth in Europe. It is also an excellent conduit for promoting social inclusion, supporting cultural diversity.
We therefore call on the European Parliament and all Member States to:
1. Show the European Union's commitment to culture by doubling the budget of the Creative Europe Programme.
2. Increase the budget dedicated specifically to the Culture Strand so that the Creative Europe Programme will be able to foster the development of a level playing field and really serve all creative sectors and creators across the EU.
3. Dedicate a stronger budget to the European music sector as one of the priorities of the Creative Europe Programme. Today, less than 4% of the Creative Europe budget goes to music related projects. This clearly does not reflect the importance and the challenges of the sector. The music sector has embraced the digital revolution and new consumption patterns. The digital revolution has brought tremendous opportunities but also significant risks for recording artists, composers and creatives. Many amongst them, have seen their work devalued: while use of their work has increased exponentially, incomes have not. Moreover, there is still limited transparency on how their work is actually being used online. Another threat to the European music sector comes from the domination of the Anglo-American repertoire especially after Sony's announced plans to take complete control of EMI Music Publishing. If approved, such a deal could only further threaten competition in the licensing market, endanger music authors' revenues across the EU and ultimately jeopardize cultural diversity in the European music landscape. The Proposal should promote and support diversity of repertoire and build bridges across European diverse musical cultures.
4. Strengthen the protection of authors rights, artistic freedom and the promotion of moral rights, which shall be included in the Creative Europe programme:
• Composers and songwriters stand at the beginning of the musical value chain and are at the heart of artistic freedom. Their livelihood depends on the creation of musical works and on their bargaining power to leverage fair deals when selling their creation. The music sector is becoming more and more digital but music authors are not getting a fair share of digital exploitation. We suggest that the Creative Europe Programme should address this unfair situation and strengthen the support to networks of creators, which would facilitate exchanges of knowledge, good practices and skills across the EU. A stronger focus on music, building on the Music Moves Europe Preparatory Action, could contribute to put music authors, who are at the source of creativity and artistic freedom, at the centre of their creative successes.
• Moral rights and the visibility of authorship are essential, in particular in the digital era. Musical works start with the creative work of composers and songwriters, whose contributions is essential to the building of national, regional and local cultures and the development of the cultural and creative industries. The disregard of moral rights – such as the right to integrity, right to attribution, fair credits – has a detrimental effect on culture and cultural heritage as the consumers and the wider public are deprived of access to the truly original work of the creator. Credits need to be visible for composers and songwriters to get recognised and generate further working opportunities. We therefore encourage the European Parliament and Member States to include measures aiming at the visibility and recognition of authors in the music section of the Culture Strand.
5. Facilitate the mobility of authors and diverse repertoires, which is essential for the promotion of an intercultural dialogue, and cross-disciplinary and transnational collaborations across Europe. European music authors depend on the promotion and distribution of their works as well as peer-to-peer exchange about relevant digital and/or geographical developments. The EU has yet to strengthen mobility in order to create an open cultural space that benefits professionals, artists and the European economy and society. There are numerous mobility schemes and programs at national and regional levels across Europe, however, they are too fragmented and limited in scope and do not underpin a clear strategy under a common EU mobility framework. Such a framework would aim to promote cultural diversity, stimulate artistic creation, foster career internationalisation of cultural workers, pan-European networking, cross- disciplinary innovation and entrepreneurship and would enhance Europe's external cultural relations.
• We therefore support the focus on "mobility of artists and cultural and creative operators" in the Culture Strand (Annex of the Draft Regulation) and a dedicated EU mobility scheme for creative professionals, as supported by a recent study commissioned by the European Parliament's Culture and Education committee. A specific reference to mobility, networking activities and the diversity of repertoire should be added in the music sector section of the Culture Strand with a specific view to promote diversity in a European music landscape increasingly dominated by the Anglo-American repertoire.
• We would also encourage the EU co-legislators to make sure that the Creative Europe Programme supports the implementation of the European Commission's New European Agenda for Culture and the recommendations of the EP report (Mr. Grammatikakis' report on a New European Agenda for Culture – soon to be adopted) and promotes mobility of authors and repertoires in both initiatives. In that context, we welcome the specific reference to the New European Agenda for Culture provided in recital 4 of the Proposal establishing the Creative Europe Programme, as well as the reference to the 2005 UNESCO Convention for the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.
6. Enhance the professionalisation of authors and contribute to a more balanced gender participation in the music sector. Being mostly self-employed and freelancers, composers and songwriters need to be supported in a way that enables them to have better control over their career, to have more independent artistic freedom and possibilities to take advantage of the success they are achieving. Across Europe, there have been already some notable experiences supported by the Creative Europe programme, like "Keychange" a pioneering international initiative which empowers women to transform the future of music and encourages festivals to achieve a 50:50 gender balance by 2022.
• We support specific measures to contribute to raising awareness of the gender gap amongst songwriters and composers to achieve a more balanced gender participation in the music sector. We believe that there is no justification for supporting a more balanced gender participation in the Media Strand but not in the other strands, notably the Culture strand. We encourage the creation of a range of activities that could help female creative professionals to develop their careers including tours, recordings, commissions and promotion and marketing.
• Last but not least, we welcome the reference to "training actions and audience development for European repertoire" for the music sector but we consider that the promotion of skills should be better reflected, with specific references to initiatives from and for authors – such as exchanges for sector professionals, networking and peer-to-peer learning activities – in the Culture Strand.

Wake up to the sound of crashing waves, stumble over dunes to watch the sunrise, sleep beneath the lush canopy of ferny forests, dig your own natural hot tub, and enjoy free-spirited drives into the sunset; if the great outdoors is your jam then New Zealand will seem like one hell of a paradise to you. And one of the best ways to see the country has to be by taking a road trip. Stop off where you want and when you want, get down and dirty with the great outdoors, chase beaches and gaze at stars on your most epic camping adventure yet. And I'm here to help you achieve that with a few insider tips with this awesome guide to road tripping and camping in New Zealand!
In this post, I'll cover everything you need to know to plan for road tripping and camping in New Zealand including driving tips for first timers road tripping in New Zealand, tips to kick-start planning your camping trip, PLUS a list of 7 magical campsites not to miss. CHECK IT OUT!
Road Tripping in New Zealand
If you're from the UK you won't struggle too much to get used to the way of driving in New Zealand, as you drive on the left hand side of the road. There are however a few differences to be aware of before setting off on your trip to make sure your drive is safe and comfortable. Here are some things to note for first timers driving in New Zealand…
One way bridges
One way bridges really are a thing in New Zealand, be aware that the road may pinch into a one-way bridge especially on winding mountain roads. You'll see the sign which is exactly the same sign as we have in the UK for who's right of way it is. Some bridges are precariously placed, so always approach with caution just in case the car come the other way hasn't seen you.
Loose cattle
Don't freak out. A bull almost walked square into our car at one point after casually walking under the fence of its paddock. If you see loose cattle, call this number: 0800 492 452. The local farmers will be appreciative of your efforts… especially if there's a big ol' bull on the loose!
Off the beaten track
Some gravel roads go through farmland. If you have a herd of animals coming towards you, most likely there is a quad bike or two in tow. Just stop your car, sit patiently and let the farmers & herd pass and they will be no bother. Don't freak out.
Private farmland
If you're chasing beaches it's good to be aware that some are off the beaten track. And if it isn't a DOC area then most likely it is a farmers land. Be sure to ask permission, it's not ok to trespass and people are very protective of their land in NZ.
Speed limit
All speeds are in km/h and correspond with the speed dial on your car (assuming you've rented the car locally in NZ).
The passing lane…
…And pulling over. Most state highways are single lane roads but do offer passing lanes often. Be sure to pull over into the left and let traffic behind overtake, or use the additional lane to overtake big trucks or slower traffic where safe. Similarly, if you're going super slow and there aren't any passing lanes but you know there is traffic behind you, find a safe place to pull over and let it pass before continuing on your way.
Windy AF Roads
That's windy as in loads of corners, not windy as in tornados… and it's good to be aware that you will experience very windy roads as you explore NZ by road. Most of the time there are signposts which advise the speed limit for that corner, but always play it safe if you are new to driving on these kinds of roads. The amount of cars overturned in ditches I've seen is chilling, so please don't feel pressured to go faster and take all corners carefully – especially when you're getting off the beaten track where you won't find any signs indicating speeds per corner.
Tips for Planning your Camping Trip
It is illegal to freedom camp unless your vehicle has a toilet inside it, meaning that you'll need to find a campsite if you are exploring with a car rental and tent or with a campervan. The awesome news is that NZ is well and truly set up with campsites galore. Here are some top tips to prep you and help find unique campsites across the country…
DOC camping grounds
DOC (Department of Conservation) is my absolute favourite service in New Zealand. Offering campsites across the country in the really off the beaten track areas, the facilities are always basic – think composting toilets, cold water showers and no kitchen facilities but usually a sink for washing up – this is camping in it's rawest form. Which is why it's so great! BYO camping & cooking gear and get ready to get well and truly back to nature.
AA for DOC camping leaflets
But where are all these awesome campgrounds? Well, here's a little insider tip – head to an AA wherever you start your trip and pick up all of the DOC leaflets you can find. They are totally free and offer a wealth of information of DOC campsite locations across the North and South Island.
Holiday parks
Another awesome option for camping is holiday parks which are more well equipt than DOC sites, usually with hot water showers (extra charge), electricity and kitchen facilities including pots and pans and some kind of basic indoor area in case the weather changes.
Book early
During summer months holiday parks and DOC sites do book up. So, be sure to plan your trip if you're heading out in summer. If you are heading on this epic trip in winter, it's still totally doable (we camped here in winter!) but if heavy rain is expected and you only have a tent, I'd recommend taking a cabin in a holiday park.
7 MUST-Visit CAMPSITES
There are some beautiful campsites in New Zealand, some less-known than others, but this is the TTT top pick of 7 magical camp sites not to miss out on. Whether you're kitted out with a camper van or putting up your tent, if you love getting back to nature, you'll love these spots. Be sure to check out the map below which shows the locations as well.
#1 DOC Camping, Spirits Bay
#2 Utea Camping, Ninety Mile Beach
#3 Motutara Farm, Whananaki
#4 DOC Camping at Fantail Bay & Port Jackson, Coromandel
#5 Hot Water Beach at Lake Tarawera, Rotorua (this involves a hike)
#6 French Pass, South Island
#7 Karamea, South Island (great stop off if you plan to do the Heaphy Track)

raytaylor: The powerline adaptors will usually work if you are in the same building, and the building just has a single phase power supply.
Dual phase is like having two seperate power lines coming into the house from the street, and is common in commercial buildings, and very few larger homes.
The wiring in the building is split in half with half the building running on one phase and the other half of the building running on the second phase.
Because of this, the powerline adaptors cannot talk to each other because the wiring does not meet within the building.

Boda Boda reviews
Review for Private: Boda Boda old
This bike has changed my life. Biking is one of my favorite leisure activities. When I had my son, we used the typical bike seat that attaches to my personal bike. As he outgrew the seat, we weren't sure what our next mode of biking would be. A trailer was unappealing to us. When we saw the Yuba Boda Boda,it was a no brainer! This bike was made for our lifestyle! Biking around town with my son is comfortable, efficient, and fun. And the bike is versatile; as he gets bigger we will likely change out the monkey bars for just a handlebar, which will make mounting and dismounting faster. This bike has allowed me to get back to my favorite activity, with my kid. I'm hoping it instills in him the same love for biking that I have.

I've had my Boda Boda for less than one month, but I am so in love with the bike! I haul a 4 year old an one year old, and the difference between my old bike with a kids' seat on the back and trailer to being able to have them both on the bike with me is amazing. The bike glides so nicely that I barely notice the extra weight.

I have had my Boda for almost 1 month and have gone 500 miles. I have had several people ask what I was riding, and where I got it. I am really enjoying riding again. My only complaint was that the larger step over model only comes in red, and I really wish I could have gotten the green.

Perfect solution for commuting with one child. So much fun. Thanks, Yuba!

Review for Private: Boda Boda old
We live in an area that's not super bike friendly. Partly due to the climate in western NY, and partly because the infrastructure is not in place in the old city of Buffalo and its suburbs. Nonetheless, my husband schlepped his beat-up Mongoose to and from work in the winter and a nicer Cannondale in the summer for 4 years. It was time to give him an upgrade. He sometimes refers to his Boda Boda as the minivan of bicycles... which is exactly what it looks like when he wheels around town with our daughter on the back and bread basket on the front. While there are some factors that simply don't allow for commuting on the Boda Boda year-around in our area, it is absolutely worth it when it can be used for travel or for fun. It's hardy, sturdy, handles well, and is a dream to ride. The double-kick stand is a must for safe loading and unloading of a child on the back. The only thing I've left to add is a cargo bag and this will be one sweet ride! This is the absolute best alternative to a car and we're so glad we got it!

While I absolutely love my Boda Boda and use it nearly daily to take my two kids (2 and 6) to daycare and school, as well as for grocery runs and outings, I find the pricing on the bike misleading. The price seems like a great deal until you count all the add-ons you have to buy to make it truly work for kids and cargo. In my case it was monkey bars, cushion, Yepp seat, bread basket, frame lock, and most importantly, double kick-stand that's absolutely required for safely loading the kids on and off the bike. In addition, it's a quite disappointing that Yuba changed the thickness of the pannier mounting bars, rendering all standard pannier bags (of which I already have quite a few) unusable: that's another $300 for Baguette V2. Finally I wish the bike came with a customizable handlebar options. I very much appreciate that the step-through frame works flawlessly for my 5'1" frame, but the handlebars are far too wide. Even after my local bike shop cut them down, they are still too wide for me, causing strain in the shoulders.

We absolutely adore this bike. It was a splurge for us, but has proved worth every penny. We got our electric Boda Boda last year, and it has made biking in hilly DC with two kids in tow possible. We carry a 4 year old and a 6 year old with the help of the Yepp seat, the soft spot and the monkey bars. I take the kids to school, and continue on to work every day. This bike, with the bread basket, carries groceries, instruments for music lessons, and more. It's light enough for me, as a not-large woman, to manage comfortably, and yet remains strong and sturdy with all the carrying capacity we need. Because of this bike, we can continue to live happily without owning a car, ordinary errands are a joy, and getting around in our daily lives is simply fun.

I love this bike. But I've had three flat tires in the first three months of owning it. It's so deflating (pun intended) to deal with this again and again. It takes time and continues to add to the cost of an already very expensive purchase, not to mention the lost rides. Also embarrassing when you've told so many people about this great new bike and the story starts becoming about how it's always broken. The last time it happened, I was so frustraited, that I just left the bike in the garage for three weeks. I'm not riding anywhere strange, just the streets and bike paths of the twin cities. I finally bought a new tire with a belt inside protecting us from more flats. It would have been nice if this bike had had this in the first place.

My dream bike! I was thinking of getting a Mundo when the first-generation Boda Boda came out circa 2013. It is everything I could ask for... tall, green, and amazing. I have had to replace the rear wheel once and the cork handgrips. I've added on one first-generation Baguette and a first-generation Bread Basket. I regularly ride with my husband (either one of us pedaling) and we get tons of catcalls (more when I'm pedaling!) Now for a kid to add to the back!

I wish these bikes were around when my kids were little! It would have made hauling my kids less of an organizational and engineering feat! So with children who are now bigger than me, I get asked why do I have a kid hauling bike?? Because even big kids need an occasional lift, to have their bike towed to or from an after school activity or have their school project, instrument or team equipment carried for them as they ride alone. I hear so many stories from families with little kids enjoying their cargo bikes, but i think there needs to be stories of families with big kids too. Also, these last few years of adolescence, when I get to have them on the back of my bike, even occasionally, to have those close conversations as the world glides past is so precious. I know these moments where their bodies are leaned into me and their faces are tilted to my cheek are literally fleeting! Always keep your babies close, even when they are bigger than you and my boda is a part of that.

After owning and enjoying the original boda boda for 2 years we added the newest version last month to our bike family to ease the commute to school this fall with two (4 and 6). We couldn't be happier. My kids love the extra space in back and I love that it is nimble and a joy to ride. I also like how much easier the hills are with 80+ pounds of kids plus cargo. The We are doing more and going further by bike than ever before!

My baby blue Boda Boda V2 is joy. I chuckle past traffic jams carrying my two girls (3 and 5) on the deck to and from school, with me continuing on to work every day. We added a custom monkey bar enclosure and it's been no problem. My girls immediately loved riding on it and begged to have mommy take them on the cargo bike over daddy taking them in the Burley trailer. We can chat so easily and the bike is so light and much easier to ride than a a bike pulling a trailer. The deck is a little high for two kiddos but if I don't walk it much, it's not a problem. The bike is also a conversation starter. I think I've become the goofy proselytizer, but I'm really in love with this bike! I cancelled my $65/month parking pass and am a full on bike commuter. I think these bikes should be issued to everyone after they have a child. No need for gas guzzlers or gym memberships. This gets the job done! Lastly, we bought ours with the seat pad and foot pegs and double kickstand all of which were clutch for keeping kids happy.

My V2 is nearly two years old and I average 16 miles per day with my 50 pound kid in the Yepp seat with the Yuba adapter. After I drop my kid off at school, I remove the seat and I have a well balanced ride for my daily errands!

Love my Boda Boda--I ride my son to school several times a week, but also ride around town (just me, no kid on back) and don't feel like I'm riding a huge bike or having to pull a tag-a-long or trailer behind. It's been the perfect go between--whether I have a kid with me or not. And, my son loves riding on the back (even though he's a proficient bike rider himself). One of the best purchases our family has ever invested in.

This is for the old version Boda Boda V-2. I was one of the lucky few who bought this at a discount when it was closed out for the updated model. My plan was to create my "dream bike" with an electric conversion- beginning with a wheel set that includes a Nexus 8 speed internal shift hub, (with roller brake kit) and a hub mounted generator, I then added a Bafang mid-drive electric conversion kit. I took full advantage of the higher up rear rack by mounting my "Shark" battery pack underneath it, yet above the fender from Planet Bike. The set up has exceeded all my expectations and has become my "RATT" bike- ridden all the time! This bike has an ultra stable feel to it even with uneven loads. I have hauled marble slabs, a lawn mower, another bike, and countless groceries, even steel stock 8 feet long, standing up upon the foot boards. The panniers are humungus and fold out for amazing loads. I expect them to last a long time due to the support of the "running boards" at their bottom. I chose this model over what I was shopping for due to its low weight- I live on the 4th floor of a building with a "micro" elevator the size of a toilet stall- I must stand the bike up on its rear wheel to use it, lol! Even though I have the step through version, this frame has no "wiggle" when shaking the handle bars with a heavy load in back. A true cargo bike without the unconventional looks. Love it!

I take my son to and from school every day on our Boda Boda. He loves the ride and comments on how much fun it is to ride in the back. We can go pretty fast on it if we want, and he likes that too. Going typical speed we get to school in less time than driving and enjoy it much more!

When our 4-year-old outgrew the seat in the back of a bike, we needed a solution to allow us continue commuting to school without the car and still allow us to pick up a few groceries or give a classmate a ride home. The Boda Boda has been perfect! And as a compact cargo, it is still possible for me to carry it up the front steps and round the corner to store it inside. We added the mini monkey bars and to of the smaller soft spots.

Wow. So we just 'accidentally' bought a Boda Boda.... Accidentally as we went looking for an easy cruiser so my wife could take the kids out in the trailer, but found the Boda Boda on consignment at our local bike store and couldn't walk away (we tried!). Hells bells that is one beautifully engineered and put together piece of industrial kinetic art. I am impressed, and thank you for creating such a marvellous machine. Now to figure out how to get it on our tent trailer for our road trip this summer!

Amazing bike and great company! I purchased the Boda Boda to get around the neighborhood with my kids… One in a child seat and one riding on a soft spot.They absolutely love it! I'm amazed at how well the bike maneuvers, wether I have one kid on board or both. Last week we were at the park and another child came over to us to tell us how cool our bike was… Who knew that a cargo bike with a basket in front was cool 🙂 We had one small mishap with ordering an accessory for our new bike and Yuba went above and beyond to correct the mistake. Truly great customer service!
Uh, more like Best Best.
I live just a couple miles from my office but often took my car because I knew I'd have packages to bring home or would need to swing by the grocery after work.
As a matter of fact, last week we had a little cook-out at the office where I grilled hot dogs for about 65 people. I was able to load up 6 dozen dogs, 6 dozen buns and the required condiments in the 'Bread Basket' on the front with enough room on the back for two bags of charcoal and a small propane canister.
I haven't commuted in a car in the three weeks since picking up my Boda Boda.
We recently purchased a Yuba Boda Boda (Green, Step-throught Cargo Bike) non- electric, and we love it!!!
Prior to our purchase, we test drove every single cargo bike we found in the Bay Area (CA), and both my husband (6ft) and I (5ft) felt in love with the Boda Boda because we can both share it and ride very comfortably! Our precious cargo feels very secure and we have now decided to fully replaced our car with our new bike!!
+ Fits rider of different height,
+ Comfortable straight/relax posture when riding,
+ long enough tail to haul a whole bunch of cargo while keeping the frame size compact,
+ affordable compare to other brands and high quality,
+ stylish looking!!
PS: We got so many complements from stranger on our first ride alone!!!
I had been using a high-quality folding bike to commute in Bangkok, Thailand almost daily for several years. But then I saw the Boda Boda at a local bike shop, I had to try it. The handling, versatility, and ruggedness make it perfect as a commuter. Now I use it most of the time for commuting to work unless I know I need the portability of a folding bike.
Purchased a Boda Boda (Step Over) for my retrogrouch husband, he is 6'2″ and strong, so not a small guy. His history with bicycles is to significantly challenge their sturdiness, at 225 lbs and his propensity to prepare like a boy scout, we needed plenty of payload capacity. His research and preferences for our price range narrowed the field substantially, either a touring or cargo bike and basic time tested components. Hopefully this overbuilt yet simple strategy pans out in the long run, yielding a sizable margin for reliability.
We are both in our 40's and are in no rush, so not speed demons. But since we are middle aged now it is time to take cardio seriously (he got me a Kona Coco), and boy are we seeing gains (it is very much helping with endurance at the climbing gym too). Our state park has nice roads with long'ish flats and steep hills, so the low gearing is necessary and welcomed. He insisted on mountain triple chain rings for both bikes (mine was modded during purchase), and I can say it has worked out very well (I'd be walking up the hills without it). He started on the bike unloaded and straining up hills in low gear (though never stopping to rest unlike me), now he climbs most hills in the middle ring (but needs the reserve for cargo and trails). Although he may change to a 34t cassette to better cover heavy bike glamping. He wishes the cranks had replaceable chain rings (they are riveted, so no experimenting), it is disappointing that when they are worn out, that is it and a new chainset must be purchased; I wish bike companies would boycott that stuff, it doesn't mesh environmentally with cargo biking at all.
He loves the handling of the bike; tracks straight as any bike could at all speeds and maneuvers precisely at low speeds. It is just super easy to control, he is always doing these really tight turns circling back to me on the hills while I'm huffing and puffing (so we can bike together or merely showing off, both?); I'm not ready for that myself yet. He wishes the front brake was more powerful (though is happy with mechanical); at his weight or anybody with sizable cargo, he doesn't think he is at all close enough to braking loose on the pavement, which means throwing way too much braking potential. Adapting a larger disk upfront is certainly in his future.
He has swapped out a few user interface components so far to get the fit just right. The saddle is a really good starter, gives a great first experience, but if your big the comfort cushion feel might be short lived, was for him (he went with a wide leather touring saddle, super happy with that, it's some French thing he got for me I didn't like, so he took it). He kept playing with the handlebars forever, initially comfortable, but started bothering his wrists (I like sweptback bars, but they didn't work for him); he went with a mountain bar with slightly more bend than average (good now). Long armed larger riders may need the extra cockpit room (an inexpensive modification). He's got Ergon's and separate barends for comfort/variety now, and a barend mirror (I love mine). He also got some clipless shoes and beefy pedals, they look like normal sneakers; he feels safer in wet weather now and generally faster.
We really got the bike for the super stout frame and he says it doesn't disappoint, clearly a ton of effort went into it, way more involved with welds and fittings than a normal bike, you can't buy a rear rack like that either. Good for customization too, he very neatly mounted a plastic milk crate with the top bolts and some spacers/washers, super cute. Still room for a small lunch cooler between the saddle and crate too. The overall length of this mid-tail bike is quite manageable too, it is far from encroaching on tandem territory, and a variety of carriers will fit it vs larger models. One downside is the non-standard pannier bar sizing, to my knowledge no other but Yuba's fits, we happen have some nice Arkels that would've worked otherwise (2 on each size even, a bit of a letdown). All considered, he says he would go touring with it, so the frame and fit must be up to snuff. Once you add the racks and bits to a touring bike, the weight differential ain't that much compared to this cargo bike, and you end up with far less points of failure and a basically no flex frame (those properties would sticker shock you with most brands).
Although this bike is fun in stock condition with no accessories, it really is just the start of your Yuba budgeting, so plan for plenty of cargo add-ons, since you won't be carrying anything without them. And don't expect third-party options outside of the Yuba umbrella, unless you DIY. I wish they made a cargo box for the Boda Boda. I do think that the frame (less so the bike) is such a good value that it somewhat offsets the price of the closed and costly cargo setup, I just wish we could meet in the middle on pricing; sales volume probably makes this tough. I will say that the accessories (basket & bag at least) are very well made.
I bought it online from REI for the discount/membership benefits, any potential shipping damage issues and easy pickup. They were like "why do you want this", even though I already bought it. They seemed annoyed by its existence, and my husband had to deal with several assembly oversights after I got it home, but that doesn't impact this review. Contrary to REI's bike snobbery, we've gotten several compliments and plenty of onlookers, this red Radio Flyer looking thing drips of nostalgia and exudes fun. We didn't buy it to turn heads, it is quite unsolicited, it was for practical reasons (exercise, Mama Chari, etc.), but we'll reluctantly accept it, if for no other reason than visibility to motorists.
All and all it has been a positive experience, and has given us some great time together (and I've historically avoided exercise, no more, riding with hubby is fun), and when he gets way too fast I'll sneak some more weight aboard.
Wow-what a fun and practical bike! I have been riding my Boda Boda from the day I picked it up from the shop. This is my new grocery getter and cruiser. I can carry my 40 lb. Border Collie when we are in an area he cannot run; he loves to ride and watch things go by. I can also haul a week's worth of groceries, two growlers, and milk no problem. I replaced a cargo trailer and cruiser with the Boda Boda and find the Boda Boda much easier to handle in town and on the Green Belt. I am sure I will be hauling a bunch of stuff with this bike as well as just cruising around on it. Thanks, Yuba for a fun and practical bike.
My new favorite bike! I love being able to take my kids along for a ride when it's just a little too far for them to bike. This bike is the perfect fit for our family. I added the money bar attachment and the kids can't wait to go for a ride.
When I asked my son why he wanted to take the bike for errands he said "Its fun and we get free air conditioning"
So much fun for the whole family!!
Comfortable ride when cargo is on the bike also! Rides great and handles perfectly. I recommend the bike to everyone with kids or who want to haul anything.

HARRISON, N.J. — The names were different, but the result was very much the same.
For the second time in a little more than a month, the New York Red Bulls blasted New York City FC, 4-0, at Red Bull Arena. This performance came in the fourth round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and it was with some of the club's biggest stars not on the field.
Stepping in for Kaku, who scored two minutes into the league win in May was Vincent Bezecourt, who struck in the same minute on Wednesday night. Kaku was one of five players on international duty for the Red Bulls, who were also able to rest star forward Bradley Wright-Phillips in the lopsided victory.
Kemar Lawrence played the ball to the feet of Bezecourt, who spun in the box and fired low past Brad Stuver.
"I think that was my second touch on the game. Really happy," Bezecourt said. "It's my first pro goal with the first team so I'm really happy with that. Real happy with the performance. I think we struggle after the first goal, but we came out in the second half flying. And 4-0 again at home is perfect."
Watch a full replay of the match here.
NYCFC did well after conceding early in possession and nearly leveled in the 37th minute, but Ryan Meara dived to his right to deny Jonathan Lewis and Hassan Ndam cleared the rebound David Villa chipped over the goalkeeper off the line.
"David Villa is a little selfish, he should pass to [Tommy] McNamara, but he tried to cheapen Ryan Meara," Ndam said. "So I saw it and then my long legs helped me a little bit and I cleared the ball in the line and there wasn't a goal."
After regrouping in the locker room at halftime, the Red Bulls again cashed in early in a half, doubling their lead just seven minutes after the break when Aaron Long latched onto a Marc Rzatkowski corner kick and put a downward header inside the far post.
Long, who partnered with Ndam, in central defense, then helped shut down NYCFC's lethal attack with Villa putting just one of his three shots on frame and subbing out of the match in the 57th minute.
"From minute one we imposed our will on them again," Long said. "It's really good that Vincent us an early goal. That's big-time from him. I thought there were a lot of good performances all around the field today. … Everyone that stepped on the field won their battles."
Danny Royer closed the game out with a pair of goals in the final three minutes to put the finishing touches on a comprehensive victory in a tournament that is vitally important to the Red Bulls after falling to Sporting Kansas City in last year's final.
"It's just a chance to win a trophy. That's what we're striving for at this club and we've come up short too many times," Meara said. "It's just another big opportunity to win something. I think being so close last year and almost being able to taste it and losing on that night in Kansas City, that sticks with us. It's another opportunity and we're going to put our best foot forward."

More Than Just Experience
Bringing any criminal defense or personal injury case to trial, whether in New York or anywhere in the country, demands more than simply understanding the rules of court procedure. A legal trial is an intimate experience. Your attorney must understand every element of your facts and be able to translate that set of facts into a compelling argument for you receiving compensation for damage suffered in a personal injury case, or why the prosecutor has failed to prove the case against you in a criminal trial.
Brian Premo knows how to do that. He takes the time to learn those details and can clearly bring them to life for a jury or judge. We are always meticulous in our trial preparation, knowing the law and facts, but we also make your facts "real," demonstrating just how your life has been changed by the injuries you suffered or how the prosecutor's arguments and evidence have not proven the elements of the crime.
We Never Forget The Human Side Of The Equation
In a serious legal case, it is easy to get lost among the legal minutiae and dollar figures. We get to know our clients as much more than a set of facts. We know that for you, your case is the most important legal proceeding in the world. And take that fact most seriously.

Frazer-Nash Consultancy has won a research contract with the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory's Centre for Defence Enterprise (CDE) following a submission to the themed competition on "Protecting Military Vehicles".
Frazer-Nash's innovation is a novel armour-attachment system which will enable the rapid fixing and removal of armour modules onto any military vehicle. It will be highly configurable to provide the ability to apply different levels of protection to a wide range of different service vehicles to meet continually changing threats in theatre.
The modular armour system concept will demonstrate the potential to deliver cost savings whilst increasing capability for UK Armed Forces. The concept is based on two key features:
1. Application and Maintenance - Armour packs will be much easier to attach and detach than current protection systems. This will increase the flexibility and speed with which service personnel can react to different threat levels in theatre.
2. Commonality across the fleet - Modular by design, many of the same packs will be applicable for use on multiple vehicles, significantly reducing the logistics burden and through life costs.
Tony Marsh, DefenceLand business manager at Frazer-Nash said: "We are delighted to have won this work through the CDE as it is recognition of the innovative nature in the way we respond to these challenges. Our concept has the potential to deliver a cost-effective capability advantage for UK Armed Forces.
"This project builds on Frazer-Nash's strong background in providing innovative solutions to tough engineering problems, and demonstrates our in depth understanding of the defence industry, the issues that service personnel face on the ground, and our technical ability to deliver."

Payroll is a necessary part of most businesses, unless you are lucky enough to have great workers who refuse to accept payment. Along with the frequent paydays (whether that be monthly, semi-monthly, bi-weekly or weekly), you are also required to file quarterly payroll reports.
If you are scratching your head wondering what all must be done to fulfill this requirement, don't worry! I'm here to help you with that!
You likely pay your payroll tax liabilities each month. For the Federal, you must pay this through the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System or EFTPS. One of the forms required to be filed quarterly is the Federal Form 941 (Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return). On this form, you report the number of employees as of the 12th day of the last month within the reporting period. You also report the gross wages paid, the amount taken out for Federal withholding, the entire Social Security and Medicare liabilities, and the amounts of each monthly payment. When I state the entire Social Security and Medicare liabilities, this is done by taking the gross wages and multiplying by .124 for Social Security and .029 for Medicare. This includes the employer and employee portions of each liability.
If you are a semi-weekly scheduled depositor for the EFTPS, then you will also have to attach Form 941 Schedule B (Report of Tax Liability Semiweekly Schedule Depositors). This form is very simple to fill out. You simple must report when the liability for each payroll occurred.
If your state requires payroll taxes to be paid, then you will need to fill out your state's Form 941 or its equivalent. Some states might have an online method of reporting this information. You will need to know the tax liability for the quarter for that state. If your state has a reciprocal agreement with a neighboring state, you will have to fill out multiple state withholding reports if you have employees that live in both states.
Now that you have completed the tax withholding reports, you will also have to fill out the state and Federal unemployment reports, also known as SUTA and FUTA. If you can do this online, you will likely not have to worry about doing any complicated math to find out what your liabilities are. State unemployment reports will need to be filed on a quarterly basis. You will need to have a list of every employee, regardless of where the employee lives, and their quarterly gross earnings. Then there will be an income requirement that must be met for each employee that the unemployment tax will be figured on. For example, you might have to pay the employee up to $12,930 before you will no longer need to pay unemployment on that employee. This is a per year total. You will need to check with your state's department of employment services to know what that amount will be.
The last report that needs to be filed is the Form 940 (Employer's Annual Federal Unemployment (FUTA) Tax Return) for the Federal unemployment. Until your liability reaches $500, you won't necessarily need to pay this each quarter. This payment needs to be made through EFTPS. The actual report filed until the end of the year. This form looks complicated, but it truly isn't that hard to fill out. Each employee's unemployment tax is figured on wages up to $7,000 per year. Once you have the total of earnings (up to $7,000 per employee), you will multiply that figure by .006. The maximum Federal unemployment owed on any single employee will be $42.00. It is very important to understand that if your liability is over $500 at the end of the year, you should have made at least one payment through EFTPS. If you haven't, you could be penalized by the IRS.
Most of the payroll reports will be due by the last business day of the month following the end of the quarter. So, for instance, if you have just completed the first quarter (which ends March 31), then your reports need to be filed by April 30. Your liabilities won't necessarily be due at that same time, they still might need to be paid by the 15th of the following month, or April 15 according to our example.
There are always situations that vary from employer to employer that could alter some of this information. For instance, if you offer a Simple IRA, then that could affect the gross wages. So, just be conscientious of this when figuring out the various employment reports.
If you are still not comfortable doing your quarterly reports, it might be a better idea to hire someone who is knowledgeable of how this all works. You can always reach out to me as well. This is one of the many services that I offer. If you look at my website and you can't see the exact service that you need from me, call me and I can give you a quote as to what it will cost.
