@GordonOfSeattle when the 1st kid was a toddler, I got this trailer and mainly used it as a stroller to walk them to the grocery store and bring stuff home. Later, coupling the trailer to their bike let them pedal the whole way there and back with a boost from me jogging along behind. (Tip #BikeTooter, you have to mount this hitch upside-down on the 16in wheels.) #cargoBikes #EvenA5yo #quaxing #CarryShitOlympics #ClimateAction #OneLessCar

Earlier, when #Quaxing, I deliberately took the back lanes, to avoid cars.
That meant cycling with 2 panniers and 2 podsacs jam-packed with groceries, up and over many hills along the 10 miles back home. One of those hills topped out at 20% and my legs sure felt that!
I was rather glad I didn't also have the trailer hooked up, laden with yet more groceries!

@HyL @IPEdmonton @cargot_robbie @mbonsma It's a bit of slang that spread from New Zealand that I've seen used here occasionally. Apparently there was a politician there who said no one would ever shop via biking, walking, or public transit on twitter. And people took it as a challenge and turned his name into a verb for a hashtag to mean any sort of errands run without a car. #Quaxing
Since my t̶r̶u̶c̶k̶ cargo bike is being fixed up I decided to do my delivery pickup the old fashioned way with my safety bike.
@wav3ydave @davidkirlewmorris @ternbicycles I have a nifty little kiddie trailer, which folds up. It cost me £40, in nearly-new condition.
I actually got it for our little dog, who's too old to go on rides of a few miles, but I've used it for #quaxing a fair few times.
Another great activity that can be enjoyed from the salubrious surroundings of a cargo bike - blackberry picking & atin'. Could this also be #quaxing? 😛🤤 #BikeTooter
Bit of #quaxing to transport the new stereo and help transform the junk room into a sanctuary.
My first shop by Cargo Bike!

I had to get groceries today, so I cycled to the supermarket at the top of the hill, just so I could zoom back down with my shopping.
I pretend this is for reasons of efficiency, but really it's because my mental age is still be that of a child 😂 🚴

Topping up Vern (our GSD) & Pepper (my HSD). Our home policy for charging large Li-Ion batteries: wait for them to cool down, do it outside if possible, always supervised. Seemed like a nice day to chill out back. I love how the Bosch system on Vern will charge both batteries at once, nice and evenly.

A little treat for those #quaxing #CarryStuffOlympics #CarryShitOlympics #VeloCargo fans out there: how FoMVT hauls a half-ton of equipment to our Saturday trail events.

But you can't take a picture 20kg bag of woodshavings home by bike right?

Ah, god bless the taxi driver who though he could ignore the 'oncoming vehicles have right of way' filter because there was only some old bloke on a bike coming. He saw the pointy end of this coming his way and backed up sharpish :-) #quaxing
@carolski Yay!! Fun! #Bikelove #carryshitolympics #quaxing

I've got annual leave this coming week. I started with a ride to the gym, then to Lidl and now home to make dinner. Starting as I mean to go on. I'm really looking forward to my week off 😁
