I call it the Dirty Huff.

I bought it for 25 bucks today. I put my old fenders on it and a wire basket. It is my official grocery getter. It has a bent wheel so I don't know if anybody has an extra rear wheel laying around

commuting if you work at the grocery store

Great find! Great Price!

I started out using my ride as a grocery getter for a few weeks before I was sure I had the moxie to bike in to the train station four days a week. It's tricky getting ice-cream or frozen pizza home, but I did have a pair of live lobsters make it from the fishmonger's in fine shape.

Wire-basket panniers are so darn practical, especially the long ones - you can haul home a metric ton of stuff with a few bungee cords and careful arrangement. My apt. steps are too narrow for either front basket or panniers, or I'd slap 'em on my old beater in a heartbeat.

I had both the Wald basket =and= panniers on my SS beach cruiser in college, and I could schlep heavy photo equipment to and from school as well as the guys with cars. (I had a car, too: a gorgeous old Super Beetle. The engines for it were mostly in pieces around my kitchen being put back together with varying degrees of success... never hot-rod your daily ride. The guy at the VW shop was endlessly amused I picked up car parts with my bike.)

Using your bike to run everyday errands is a fine idea - fun, economical, fun, convenient, fun, healthy, and hey, you can have a blast doing it.

congrats
