Great about your friend too. Always nice to bring someone else into the fold!
I should clarify - I've done farmer's market rides before and love them - just not with the giant tomatoes. These guys take up an entire big dinner plate sliced (we usually eat on salad plates). Heck, we carried a watermelon home one day when we owned a tandem. I think it's an exceptionally good year for tomatoes here. I've been fine with "regular stuff" - these guys are just something else (and something not to be missed!). The farmers seem to have more heirloom varieties (my current favorite is a Pineapple Hawaiian). Most other things seem to do OK if I just balance out and put the heavy stuff on the bottom. I might try these in my tail rider - padded and they wouldn't have to be stacked. With a bubble wrap lining and individually wrapped.
