Carrying my table, posters, stool and the rest of my EHP gear.
Sadly, we don't rack up the savings of driving as quickly as the average American considering we only have 1 car and it is a Prius that gets about 43 miles per gallon or more. Oh well, every little bit counts.
Today was just a quick ride to set up my exchange student table at the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op--notorious for its terrible parking lot. Usually I have to park a couple of blocks away, carry all my gear, then either move my car every hour or risk getting a ticket. This time I pulled right up to the front bike racks, locked up, and carried everything about 50 feet. Then I sat at my booth talking with customers while keeping an eye on my bike and trailer. When I was done, I loaded everything back up and rode home in the most beautiful weather.
Adding a bike ride to my day has certainly brightened my mood. I find myself looking forward to errands instead of dreading driving. I have more energy and I am able to pull the trailer faster for longer. With the boys, their gear, my gear, and the weight of the trailer, I figured out that I am pulling an extra 90+ lbs. This is a great way to get in shape, for sure!
