Two weeks ago, Dan helped me put a crate on my bike. He even traded me this frikkin sweet red one. I should write about it more for the bike site, but it’s perfect for this particular Photo Friday: Exercise. Because riding four miles home from work, all uphill, with weight in this baby, is exercise! I’ll write up directions/how it works on the bike site. There you go.
Now I can take all my crap to work without getting sweaty. Plus, I wonder what effect it is having on potential thieves. It’s not all that cool looking, unless you’re a Fred. But it’s awesome just the same. A family member saw me riding home one day and identified me by that big red red red crate. And it’s a great canvas for stickers, which adorn it currently.
Dan’s awesome backpack he’s taken everywhere, even to the hospital when his adorable daughter was born, with a Czech army bag I bought in Philly two weeks ago. I might need to rethink my baggage for going to work. Rainy days where I need to bring clothes and my big Klean Kanteen require a second bag, which is a pain.
Fun collection of photos!
Great idea and nice photos!
Rutters.
Finally. It’s definitely spelled with an “R” there. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen the trucks driving around and haven’t been able to decided if it’s “Rutter’s” or “Butter’s” with the script-like font they use.
The crate may not look hip, but it’s functional. I like it.
