I have told my husband that for my birthday in a few weeks, I want some kind of cart to hook onto my bike. I want to use it for when I go grocery shopping or when I want to haul something somewhere without taking my car. He laughed. Perhaps he was laughing because it had been snowing today and we are still in the middle of a storm warning. Obviously, I wouldn't be riding a bike today. I told him I was serious.
I started looking at Amazon today and saw a cart that is kind of like what I would get, but I am going to do some research on this.
I need to look further on line at the reviews and such before I would purchase a cart.
It is the in town driving that kills me on gasoline as that is the majority of the driving that I do. You don't get great mileage with all the stops and starts. So it's time to make a lifestyle change and really think about using the bike more for shopping trips.
So, I'm curious, do any of you have a cart to pull behind your bike? Any suggestions???
I don't have a cart but I've been thinking about doing something like old fashioned milk crates...we live 1/4 mile from a grocery store but walking gallons of milk home is killer. My kids jump at the chance to ride up to the store, though.

I dont have a bike let alone a cart, the main road too the shops from out house is just too busy for me to attempt anything other than my car.
