Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#114)

Approximately $110 in groceries from two different stores in four plastic crates. I always love the comments I get while riding the Yuba Mundo…invariably there are some, particularly when it’s loaded. On my way home today, for example, I was waiting at a red light when a car rambled up that seemed barley able toContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#114)”

Are You Kidding Me (again)?

I first wrote a post with this same title a few months ago regarding a $500 handlebar bag (click here to read that post). Anyhow, for anyone that carries large items on a bike (be it a longtail or not) you know the difficulties of keeping the bike standing when it is loaded but youContinue reading “Are You Kidding Me (again)?”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#42)

A big cardboard box full of hardwood scraps. Someone must have put in a new hardwood floor (oak, I think) and put the scraps in a box at the curb…perfect kindling for later this year. And yes, I realize that it is in the middle of summer, but this was just too good to passContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#42)”

24 Mason jars.An 80 foot garden hose.A gym bag full of wet clothes.3 rolls of paper towels. I always enjoy the comments and looks I get riding this bike, especially when it’s loaded…but I received one of the best comments today while riding down trendy Elmwood Avenue during peak rush hour.

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#28)

Six heavy logs (next winter’s firewood). I came across these logs in the trash on my way home from the gym this evening (hence the gym bag)…while some may just see trash…I saw next year’s fuel. I only took half of them because that’s all I felt I could safely carry (believe-it-or-not I actually knowContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#28)”
