Local shopping by bike with half a cat basket

I just used zip-ties to affix a milk crate onto my own Pletscher rear rack. It's actually quite a secure attachment. That's what I ended up doing to my Mothers bike a few weeks back. I've grown quite appreciative of my Leggero Max[tm] trailer. It readily converts into a shopping cart, inducing wide-eyed amazement in the faces of onlookers. I've mostly been using it for trips to/from the laundromat, though. When shopping I tend to do one-at-a-time rides to various specialty shops distributed throughout the city, instead of one-stop shopping. It gives me excuses to ride more. The milk crate is usually adequate for that. The Leggero is quite a neat little solution. It reminds me of something I saw linked in u.r.cycling a while back, but I can't quite bring it to mind. -- Dane Buson - Clones are people two. |
