Grocery Bikin'

Elephant Journal contributor Ryan van Duzer takes us on a wild grocery commute in Boulder, CO! What kind of trailer is he using? Check out how easy it is to attach the trailer to the bike!

I had my own shopping adventure. I needed a new battery for Fred the Bed Van, my '85 Westy, and loaded up the 53 pound dead one on my Dawes Galaxy. Check out the commute: it's tracked using arguably one of the coolest iPhone apps, Every Trail. http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=984149

It was with some fear and trepidation I took off on the trusty Dawes with that 53 pound battery on the rack. You can feel the frame flex under the weight when you carry that sort of load. Bike and rider made the trip safely!

My dad is 91 and never hesitates to kid me about gym memberships. He says he prefers to get his cardio out in the yard. You get the hint! Thanks, Duzer, for the video and inspiration. Now, what kind of trailer is Duzer using?
