The Blue Truck/Xtracycle: What I hauled today.

Today was one of my heavier loads in recent memory. Heavy enough to make the steering slightly less precise than normal. Heavy enough to put the brakes to the test on some of the downhills with stop signs at the bottom.

After work I already had my B&N bag full of work crap. It had a change of clothes including a long pair of jeans. My lunch bag with reusable containers and all the other misc junk I haul back and forth everyday. I then made a stop at the local coop to pick up a case of Almond Milk I had ordered over a week ago. I also filled another grocery bag while there including a dozen eggs. It's in the paper bag on the right. I forgot to throw in a reusable bag when heading out this morning. After the coop I stopped and picked up our weekly CSA farm share. This is the time of the growing season when it starts to get heavier. Potatoes, tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, beets...you get the picture. Quite a load. What would I do without my Xtracycle?

Last night as I was returning from errands, I gave my neighbor a ride to her home from the bus stop. She said it was a lot of fun and she hadn't had a "buck" since she was a little kid. Listening to her giggle as I pedaled up the street was nice.
