I’ve been moving stuff by bicycle lately. In lieu of my Bullitt - thanks to everyone who asks about it but no, it hasn’t been recovered … yet - I use my Velorbis. The front rack is a godsend. Above, I was heading back from a second-hand shop. Nothing massive, just a chair and some stuff in a bag. It’s interesting when you’re strapping something to a bicycle in Copenhagen. You notice many eyes on you when you’re trying to figure out how best to get the stuff to stay on the bicycle. You’re watched by people on the streets and you can see it in their eyes… they’re watching you and figuring out how they would do it. You feel pressured, in a way. “Am I doing it right?” “Do they see a different way of doing it that I’ve missed?” Once you get the stuff on and strapped down and start riding away, the interest fades. Done deal. He’s off.
And let's not forget that IKEA in Copenhagen loan out free trailers and bicycles for their customers.
