2 Mile Challenge

[Eden]

Thanks for sharing the link. That's a good challenge - and a good reminder. Cargo seems to be my biggest obstacle, but when I can work around that, why not?

We're golfers and there is a golf course within two miles of us. My son used to (and still does sometimes) take his putter and ride his bike to the practice greens. We're still trying to figure out how to take a whole bag of clubs. We all laugh at the thought of carrying them on our backs, but who knows - they make kid trailers - maybe we can rig a trailer out of the hand cart --

I've seen a golf bag specific bike attachment! I'm going to look for it right now.

Ha it took some doing but found it! (originally came across this as I was trying to figure out how to make a home-made bike trailer)

Even though you can do the same search on mapping functions, somehow it's more fun with all the little bikes. Since I'm moving soon, this help put some perspective on my errands. Cool.

We walk everywhere. We walk to the grocery store (DH takes a backpack), to dinner, and just for fun. Home Depot is walking distance as are many other places. If we go downtown, we will generally take the bus unless there's a really good reason for us not to.

It amazes me the people who will drive 3/4 mile for something minor.

Costco is more than 2 miles away but even if it wasn't, I'd have to drive. We buy many, many heavy things.

Wow - I can't believe there actually is one! I figured there would be something that would work with a little altering --

And it works with hand cart - (use the hand cart on the golf course as well), or it works with a kids' wagon, or with a basket on wheels - hmm . . . could be really useful for other things as well.

Thanks for posting that.
