Nice read about a trip on the buffalo bicycle (which was posted about here some time ago), with an interesting view on the "world bicycle relief".

Looks like field repairs to me.

Rear derailleur no longer usable, so you shorten the chain for a specific gear. Add the second chain for reliability and decreased slipping.

World Bicycle Relief gave me the new bike to ride. The S2, it is called. The S2 because it’s a two-by, with two chains and an internally geared rear cog that shifts when you pedal backward.

In my defence, I hadn't yet read the article...

But it's so cool!
