Just trying to fit in...

I know it's well-known that around here, people will carry the largest loads imaginable on the smallest vehicle possible. Like, enough styrofoam to fill a dump truck somehow lassoed onto and transported on a tricycle. Don't be too impressed, it was a grown man on an adult tricycle. (I tried my hardest to get a picture of it, but the bugger was going too fast for me!)

This leads to the day I bought at juicer and had it delivered to school (since the office staff can help me talk to the delivery guys).  The not-as-smart idea was that I rode my bike to school that day. 

I knew the juicer was going to be a bit bigger in the box, but I wasn't prepared for it to take up an Ikea bag. I had thought I could hang the bag from my bike's handlebars, but just lifting it, I knew it wouldn't work. There was also no way that I could balance it on top of my basket and still look out for traffic. 

So, in that "I can carry anything"attitude that prevails around here, 

I came up with a workable solution:

I apologize for the blur, I wasn't exactly steady on my feet.

For your entertainment, I invite you to picture me on my bike, swerving through the Emerald (remember that this is the ritzy neighborhood around here), being stopped by a sweet mom who offered her driver to take me home, making it over the speed bumps, down the street, and all the way home. 

You know, I really thought I was doing as the locals do, but considering how many giggles I passed by, I'm not sure I succeeded...

Anyone want to stop by for some excellent apple juice??
