Moving by bike

I thought I would share some pics from our recent move with you.

I moved lots of stuff by bike trailer.

Fleece and yarn


Boxes (not rubbermaid, sterilite) of all sorts of crud (not that I have any pics of them being moved).

It was a bit easier with the Penske truck - at least I didn't have to do more than press my right foot on the correct pedal rather than pedalling*. Penske actually provided us with service. Goodness me!

(You can see my bookcase-wot-I-made on the right in the truck, and DH had already unloaded about half of it by this stage)

But I had to move a lot of bits over the last few days of our old lease. Like three loads a day.

On the last day for the last load, I brought back the vacuum cleaner and a lamp along with a heap of cleaning stuff and a carpet runner. I was totally over moving stuff then!


There's lots of stuff that can be moved by bike trailer. And some stuff that can't, at least not on mine.

I am currently eyeballing one of these shopping trailers. They look very funky, especially when the front wheel and handle/pushbar are installed. I also wonder about xtracycles. They look very functional but could I fit one on our little patio?

(*anyone else notice how many people now "peddle" their bikes? Are they trying to sell them or what? Or possibly they mean propelling them with the use of pedals...)
