Moving by bike

Very cool. "Friend with a bike" is the new "friend with a pickup."

There was someone from here who moved from Bloomfield to Lawrenceville and a bunch of us with trailers and hauling bikes helped out.


Who was it that moved?

That wasn't me, but I did move at least half of my stuff from my old place to where I'm living now using just my bike and a bunch of milk crates (about 20 crates, to be exact. I tied them together after I unpacked and now they're a DIY bed frame).


It was probably just 5 or 6 blocks, and it happened over the course of a week, but I was so proud that I didn't break anything while I did it.

I think it was Willie we moved.


On a related note, I saw a guy and girl moving a full size mattress via bike trailer @ Murray & Forbes on Saturday afternoon. I gave them a big thumbs-up as I went past them, but they didn't seem to be having as much fun as we did when we did it last year.

Yes that was me. That was really a fun time, I'm not sure my cats would agree though
