Living Car Free - Laundry

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
So does anyone have to lug their laundry to a store?
also note the rubber band to keep my loose clothing from the chain.
Looks like you solved the laundry problem. How far do you have to ride?
I'm a wimp. I used to walk or take a bus, or even ride in a friend's car to the laundromat. Now I'm lucky--free use of laundry is a perk from my wonderful new landlord.
I do have the options of using a shopping cart if I wanted to.
It is only a 1.2 miles.
I think the bus would be a hassle only because it is so full of people. I try to take as many clothes as a human can.
Well I rent a guest house for 450.00 and the location is second to none.

I use the cargo trailer (aka kiddie trailer modfied)..
I get lot's of stares when I pull into the laundry..and they think there is a kid in there!
I also do small loads sometimes..when get a ride.
Another thing is I try to own less clothes these days..Quailty over Quanity!
I only have to go like every month.
More of a lazy thing.
Well I bring my bicycle into the laundry store (no bicycle rack) so I'd rather just use my bicycle.
If I had a longer commute I would get another month's worth and use a trailer.
One nice thing is no matter how many clothes I have it only takes an hour.
One nice thing is this is a coinless Laundromat.
How far is your laundry commute?

I used to stuff the laundry in my backpack and take it to the laundromat.
Right now, I'm lucky and I use the one in the apartment complex. It's just a short walk away.
I too used to use rubber bands for my pants. Now I use a nylon ankle band with a reflectorized coating that closes with velcro. Much more convenient and safer.

I am a loser!
I loose things to easily.
