Colors of autumn 94 bicycle3/20/2024 ![]() I said, “Forget this,” and took the L earlier in the week (when the windchill was 0). This week the temps plunged to the teens with a mean wind brining in the cold air. Um, yeah, I must have forgotten what Chicago winters are really like – 30s would be lovely right about now! ![]() My last post was filled with autumn leaves and musings about approaching winter due to temps in the 30s. Tagged bicycle trailers, Burley Travoy, grocery shopping by bike, shopping I have done basic grocery shopping and even bulk shopping ( a few times) by bike, but the trailer makes the operation much easier. Until then, I wish you all Happy Holidays!! I promise to write a full and detailed review of the Burley Travoy at some point in the near-ish future. I paid $250 for the Travoy and have already made up for the price in lower food costs. If I had unlimited money and parking space, I would still prefer a bakfiets for shopping! But this trailer is a reasonable compromise. I pull my weight by bringing home the eggs, safely nestled in my basket. Dottie steers the ship because I need to buy an attachment thingie (technical term) in order to fit the trailer on my bike. We’ve been using the trailer for a couple of months and it’s working out very well (our food spending is way down). (You can read about our car-free shopping strategies here.) This fall, in an effort to slash our grocery budget, we decided to invest in a Costco membership and a bike trailer to allow us to haul home a month’s worth of bulk purchases. Dottie and I sold our car six years ago, we have been doing most of our grocery shopping on foot, walking to the nearby shop once or twice a week. Hello there! I’m popping in to share my new aquisition: a Burley Travoy trailer for hauling groceries.
