    groceries.

    anyone here with only a bike and no car.
    was getting our groceries today and thought how do people with no bike get theirs.
    do you get a cab?
    or just go frequently enough to fit it on your bike.

    I shop with a flat, so they catch the bus and I take stuff in a tramping back pack. It's only a short ride home though. If I go to the vege market I take my tank bag & a small pack.
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

    In thailand or asia, people have to bags of groceries in plastic bags and hang them on each side of the handle bar and then off they go... they are usually on scooters and travelling < 50km/h or they have baskets in the front of the scooter :P

    A back pack and a cargo net on the back does the trick for me.

    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Haha, I've done that. On the way to my parents, I used to stop at the cafe, and carry the bags just like that back to the folks'

    groceries are not the problem for me., it is the other stuff. Previously I have brought things like a new blanket, rubbish bin, laser printer; that I am not even sure it will fit on the bike when I buy it.

    Mum does the shopping

    But for the essentials I just cannot live without (Fanta chips etc.) I just use my backpack. I would kill however for a backpack rack on the back, because I HATE!@*%#@ backpacks on my back.

    I carry about 6 bags, and if I use my dispatch shoulder bag, then can fill that (with about 4 bags worth). Can also get 2 pizzas, chips and 2 litre coke on the tank.
