For Better or Bikes's video: Bicycle Grocery Shopping How-to A first timers perspective For Better or Bikes

Bicycle Grocery Shopping: We embark on our first grocery shopping trip pulling a Thule Chariot Cougar 1 trailer behind our bicycles. We learned a few lessons on this trip. 1: Grocery shopping by bicycle is not as scary or mentally straining as we initially thought. 2: Bring a bike lock and make sure there is somewhere to lock up your bike. 3: Plan a route that does not include a large hill on the way home. 4: Use a chain guard, tuck pants into socks, or use strap to keep pant legs out of the bicycle chain. 5: Use waterproof trailer or bags in case of a sudden downpour. All-in-all it was a positive experience and is our first real step in downsizing to a one-car family and a drive-less lifestyle. Be sure to post your comments, tips, and tricks below. We would love to learn from those more experienced than us. Here is a link to the trailer we used. Its good for groceries and kids, but not dogs.
