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".

It's by design: https://newatlas.com/bicycles/two-chain-buffalo-bike

The idea is that if you lose one chain, you can keep riding till you get somewhere that you can get it fixed. In places where infrastructure is iffy, this could be a life-or-death feature.
