Mulch Run Number 3

This is another 75+ pounds of Cocoa mulch from Theo Chocolates in Seattle. We have been putting it in our garden. I was hoping to get four or five bags on but was only able to get three of them strapped down. To get home I had to climb around 750 feet especially if you factor in the down hill detour to the farmers market.

Early Cargo Run

The year is 1998 and I have just bought my BOB. Mostly for this Thanksgiving trip from Chicago to New Mexico...on the train.

This is one of my favorite "Secret Chicago" locations.

In addition to a weeks worth of clothes and who know what else there is also a small collapsible cooler (a couple of meals for the train trip) and a pack packing kitchen for making hot cocoa in NM.

I really was not so sure I'd get much use out of the BOB. Was I wrong! Everyone should have one in their household. .

Bike Polo Bikes

Here is a load of bikes I took down to Mobius yesterday. I found one in the weeds and the other in a free pile. Someone will be happy to have them and I am glad to get rid of them.

Neighborhood Cargo Bike Run - Recycling

So yesterday I had to run a few errands. I needed packing material for some art I am sending to New York for a friend. Of course I was looking for material to re-use prior to recycling. I called the LBS on the lake and was told "we have 'em but The Guy is coming by today". So I jumped on the bike and when I showed up I nearly had to beg The Guy for a box.

I was still on the hunt for more padding and had spied some possible materials on the way down so I headed back basically the way I had come. As I went up a residential street I found a pile of wood just waiting to be used as material for our custom cat door that I am in the process of building. And now I do not have to buy it, Thanks.

My last stop did indeed provide me with great packing materials. There is gold in them thar dumpsters. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

I am glad I did this all yesterday as all this would be wet, wet, Seattle wet today.

Cargo Biking Good - Cars Bad

So you still can't give up your car? I am here to convince you that it can be done. Wether you get a purpose built bike or just a good basket and paniers you will find it simple to be auto free.
