During tourist season the orders are too big for The Dummy so I have to use the car. But off season I can deliver the 17 miles on either the Dummy or the Trucker. This year I've been doing a farmers market and haul my set-up on the Dummy except when it looks like rain and once when it was so hot I couldn't take it, I'm in the Florida Panhandle. The Farmer's market is about 10 miles from my house and takes me an hour to get to.
About a month ago my husband sold his truck we realized one vehicle between us is all we need,he's a drummer and uses it to haul his equipment, last Summer he had a gig 4 blocks from our house that only required congas so I'd let him use my Dummy.
Very nice arrangement! I've been wondering about self employed people that use bikes very often.
