Today I rode the Xtracycle to the grocery store. That’s not so unusual. I often stop by the store after work. In fact, I think it’s easier to stop on the Xtracycle than it is in a car. I pull in, lock up, and go inside — no searching for a parking spot, and the bike rack is close to the door.

But I don’t often ride from home to the store and back. I could, very easily, most of the time. But the car still tends to be my default choice.  So this car-free challenge is good for me, too — it forces me to make a different choice.

P.S.: Yes, those are plastic bags peeking out. I forgot the reusable ones.
