Bicycle Diaries: Saturday Grocery Stock-Up via Bicycle
By Seattle Mag May 28, 2011
After a full day of yard work this Saturday, I thought the best thing to do for stretching out my aching back would be to go on a bike ride–and stock up on groceries in the process. Also, in the process of rolling my wheelbarrow up and down my hill I lost an important nut, so I added the hardware store to my list. Here are the key stats of my grocery procurement trip…
Weight in groceries: 39 lbs (including such essentials as soda, granola bars, bread, maple syrup, strawberries, tomatoes, and ice cream)
