Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#156)…and the yogurt that brought traffic to a halt

$58.27 in groceries in a plastic crate. So there I was as usual…pedaling and coasting down Elmwood Avenue on my way home from the local food co-op. The day was sort of odd…it seemed autumn-like. Anyhow, I was almost to the intersection of Elmwood and North Streets when I hit a small bump in theContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#156)…and the yogurt that brought traffic to a halt”

Another Great Bike Advert

This is actually an advertisment for the health care company, Kaiser Permanente. And while the company is indirectly advertised, riding a bike is overtly so. What I like about this is that it shows people of all ages riding a bike not just as a “hobby” but as a mode of transport…no spandex, no hunchingContinue reading “Another Great Bike Advert”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#154)

Another bike. One of the (many) unique features of the Mundo is that it has lower side rails that are great for carrying heavy objects, but even better at fitting the front tire of another bike, allowing you to tow it. I’m pretty sure that xtracycle offer this feature but I’ve never ridden one soContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#154)”
