Went cycling with a friend, it was very muddy and dark, but was nice catching up. We stopped at this little cafe for mugs of glogg. I picked up a christmas tree on the way home. We are organizing a christmas party for friends tomorrow (unless this throat ache turns to something more serious...), which is nice! I feel like a new page has turned and it's time to start doing things instead of waiting them to happen.
For some reason I pictured you taking a Christmas tree home on a bike 😆
I did actually :D the bottom of it was on the handlebars and top pointing backwards, over the bike, I held the tree on the saddle with my other hand while walking the bike home. And it's not even the craziest thing I've carried on a bike 🤣
Wow, I'm impressed! Cargo bike for the win
I have a small cargo with large front and rear racks, it's a model originally built for factory workers/mechanics to haul their tool box (and themselves) around the work site. And I have a small trailer, which I rarely use, but it has served well when I did (I've used it a couple timed when me or a friend has moved flats and also partially moved a bike shop to another location 😂). A proper cargo would be nice but there really isn't that much use for one at the moment. Occasional christmas tree travels well enough on the back of my everyday bike!
