    It makes me sad that these sorts of things never get released in the US, even on a “pay twice the price to get one for you and fund one for the needy” kind of scheme. We want them too!

        WTF are you talking about? The “Buffalo Bike” isn’t a Surly; it’s apparently designed by an organization called “World Bicycle Relief.”

        OP’s third link specifically says:

        But you can’t buy a Buffalo Bike, or at least not for yourself. A $165 donation helps donate a bike to someone in need.

      Perversely, while it would be easier for someone with no equipment to maintain in their home, it would be a bigger pain in the ass for a bike shop here to maintain than a typical cargo bike would be.
