Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#249)…and a quick comment

A canvas book bag containing various items.Three liters of red wine.A cardboard box containing 3 pints of homemade dog food (chopped prime rib scraped from diners plates).

A partial set of ratchet wrenches (aka socket wrenches) that I recycled (salvaged) on my way to church this morning…and yes, I’ll even pick things out of people’s trash on my way to church (if it’s something really good).

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#245)

Two plastic crates containing all the ingredients to make two batches of soup (except for the turkey broth, which I made from the turkey carcass leftover from Thanksgiving). The soups: Curried Vegetable (which is more like a ragout than a soup), and Split Pea with Linguica.  

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#244)…and a few thoughts.

More than $100 in groceries from two separate stores in a Bike Rev trailer and a cardboard box on a front rack.

Thoughts on the New Bread Platform (or luggage carrier)

I’ve ridden the Mule with the new Bread Platform attached for the past week or so (not exclusively because I’m still riding the Mundo), and my overall impressions very favorable. It was very easy to install, it’s sturdy, and it is large…really large for a front rack. It measures 12 inches (30cm) by 17 inchesContinue reading “Thoughts on the New Bread Platform (or luggage carrier)”

Pots, pans, over-sized wire whisks, bowls, plastic buckets, and other small pieces of cooking equipment.

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#234)…and a quick story

  $72.57 of groceries, sundries, and other staples in two plastic crates from three separate stores. The last of the three stores I went to was a national chain .
