Riding Loaded...

Ride Loaded... as the folks from Xtracycle say.  Today I took a bulky but light load of plastic containers, cardboard, and paper to the recycling center.  This load also included my briefcase, duffel, lunch, locks, lights, and an empty growler to return to the local brewery.  Leaving for town is easy, it's all downhill.  Returning is where I frequently wish I had the Stokemonkey electric assist system from Cleverchimp.

A crisp fall day, an easy and useful ride, and on the way home I even had time to stop and chat with old friends I hadn't seen in a while.  Would have missed them had I been in a car.

Great riding, peace to all.
