My bikes pull their weight, or more...

 ...and I have some pretty heavy bikes.  After my previous text-only post, here's a sampling of bits I successfully moved by bike, including a small dresser yesterday.

Yesterday's haul, thanks Elly!

More furniture

Not as tippy as I expected!

Wide-wise is still skinnier than a car

Jousting anyone?

The makings of a house

come home

A fridge!

Which towed surprisingly well

Cross training

And the usual

Everything I needed to travel from Santa Barbara to Eureka

pulled by the previous day's Craigslist find!

Even passengers

of all sizes

Alas, I don't have a picture of my personal record for weight, a 350 pound set of tractor pallet forks, although those were the end of the yellow Brendan buggy above.  Its axle, however, lives on, supporting the long kayak (and everything else) fetcher.  But ultimately, my goal in this post, and the blog in general, is not to impress, but rather inspire.  Start small, maybe a grocery run, or even just a visit to a friend's house, and  pretty soon, you too could be the gal or guy on the bike!
