Odd Bike Cargo

Mine are hardly exciting.
Just stupid!

after the wind storm, I rode out on the road on Eden's Fuji. We had lost our garbage can lid again, it blew away, so when I saw one (which was unfortunately the wrong size) I brought it home, holding it sort of over the handlebars..
It was a scary ride because I wasn't used to the bike. But i made it home
and now we have a garbage can and a garbage can lid that don't fit.

I used to live car free during summers in woods hole, so I bought a baby trailer and used it to do my grocery shopping and laundry. The funniest is when folks would peek inside to see my 'babies' only to find my groceries!

How 'bout a week's worth of recycling in a bike revolution trailer? We used to live on a private street with no recycling pick up. So, once a week or so, we made the trek over to Wrightsville Beach to the recycling center.

Also carried DH's rear wheel from his road bike after REI botched a repair job. Came back with that and a week's worth of groceries from Target. Oh yeah, and a pair of Chacos

here's a really good one, but it's not me.
We have a guy who does cat rescue. He comes to the shelter with cat carriers loaded with cats and kittens tied to his bike, front and back!

I used to carry my tenor sax all the time!!! Think of a suitcase only about 3.5 foot long!!! I just carried it by the handle and rode 1 handed. The rear brake hand of course!!!!

DH and I have taken our instruments, viola (me) and French horn (him) to rehearsal. The viola is bungied onto the underseat rack on my recumbent and rides very nicely there, thank you. The horn rides in a Burley trailer.

Cars give us LOTS of room, especially on chilly nights - and we've laughed about having Child Protective Services called on us for taking our "baby" out in that trailer in the cold.
