I didn't know about this site until ten minutes ago. I need to go to the grocery store and I don't have a car so, I rode my bike. It's gotten easier to ride carrying groceries. In the past, the groceries would throw off my balance. Funny thing happened right after I left the store. I was saddling my steed and I hear a voice yell "How you going to get all those groceries home on that bike?" It was Jennifer, someone I shared an English course with at the university. "I put the bags on the handles." She seemed puzzle but, I've been doing it this way for the last 6 months since my car was stolen. I could tell she wanted to give me a ride but, she didn't say anything as it appeared that I wasn't giving up on the idea of riding my bike. Besides, if I had taken the ride I would have had to walk back to get my bike.
