Finally assembled my @SurlyBikes Ted Trailer. I got it as part of the @TourDeFat Car For Bike Swap 4.5 years ago and having been using @an.avery.a.day 's chariot instead of this. Excited to have greater towing capacity now (300lbs, yikes!). Thanks @jimmyhallyburton for convincing me to get it. #ProcrastinatorsUniteThe #CommunityFridge is now open. We've got food, books, a handful of tools, and a few toiletries. If you need anything (or having anything to donate) please stop by 48th, just south of ThistleWe built a shelter with @SeattleCommunityFridge Now to fill the fridge with food and the shelter with canned goods, books and toolsToday on a walk, @an.avery.a.day and I found a chickadee building a nest in the hollow of a tree.A great day for a ride. Picked up 55 lbs of flour for making more bread. Bike trailers might be the greatest invention everCategories
