Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#324), and a couple comments

A large double-wide wicker chair. Every so often I wonder if it isn’t over-kill to a certain extent that I ride a 7ft cargo bike as my everyday bike (though it still is my most comfortable). Then I come across treasures like this and remember why it is so handy to be riding a cargoContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#324), and a couple comments”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#315)…and a couple of comments.

The book, Wild Fermentation, a u-lock, a 6ft cable lock, and 19 bricks.
