Cycling with eggs
Ooops!
Two casualties yesterday while transporting a carton of farm fresh eggs from work home by bicycle.
I’ve done this before, and nothing cracked.
I ride my bike to and from work most days. My commute is 15 miles round trip, mainly along the Shoal Creek Hike and Bike Trail.
A friend of mine brought the eggs from the farm next to her property in Llano. I wrapped them in a towel, popped them in the trunk that clips to the back of my bike and sped home.
Last time, no injuries. This time, I must have pedaled too quickly.
How eggs-asperating!
What’s the strangest thing you’ve transported by bike?

I’ve borrowed a beach cruiser with a huge basket from a friend to do groceries. That’s not a strange thing, but I had never used a bike to do this. So, instead of transporting only eggs, I transported all the items from my weekly list. And the bike still rides great with all the weight over the front wheel.

Chris and I biked to Lowe’s on Shoal Creek with backpacks on and came home with 4 ft metal rods sticking straight up out of them. Not too safe:(
