Another laundry day - 55lbs was really easy

[Jabba Degrassi]

I bought a Christmas tree on Saturday and strapped it to my backup bike (1967 Mercier SS). Sadly though, I had to walk the bike back to my apartment.

Should have bungee'd the tree to your back.

Can I ask... why?

guys at my shop are fast. didn't want to take the mountain bike on a roadie ride.
i tried riding the fixed gear in to work a few times, but it was too tiring to do that then work for 9 hours and ride home. i would end up spending the entire day's paycheck on food and caffeine in order to get through the day.
also, it was really really fun. most passing clearance i've ever gotten from cars.

I notice that too, only when I've got a crap load of stuff are they conscience, although there are still jerks who get close

[bw286]

i think it's either a "wtf, this guy is nuts, better give him tons of room" or "What the hell is this guy carrying, i need to get a closer look"

I gotta new project in the works...

Grocery runs on two of my bikes

[bbattle]

Sorry, no pics but I did carry 4 cases of beer and three bags of ice on a Surly Big Dummy once. It belonged to a friend and he let me ride it up the gas station to get supplies for the evening. Everyone at the gas station was really stoked to see me load up that bike and ride away. Bike handled really well; could've carried a lot more weight with no trouble.

[rahatawa]

No pics but the home from mardi gras and the ride back from canal to uptown with my bagaboo bag filled to the gills with beads and throws weighing in at a stout 50lbs. for the record, wow nola roads are in rough shape.

This looked like something to post about here. You guys may have seen this already. If not then it may get your creative juices going.
I'm voting Gyeswho FTW!
