#everybikeisacargobike — Public Fediverse posts

Today's first load of bicycle parts on my bike trailer and in the baskets on my bike, beginning their journey to customers in Europe. A later load was of parcels for customers further afield.
All the parts we sell begin their journey to customers with a trip by bicycle.

Earlier in the day, Judy and I collected free potting compost from the local council. It's the result of an industrial composting process fed by what people put in the green bins, as well as cuttings of trees and other plants by council workers. This stuff is somewhat smellier than commercial potting compost so we'll only be using it outdoors.

Parcels of bicycle parts on their way to customers. I stopped in the city centre for a bit to take a photo and it was a bit deserted due to the rain starting again.

If you can't find what you need locally, I can send parts to almost everywhere in the world, but there are exceptions.

I can't ship to the UK or US because both of those countries have decided to enforce trade sanctions against themselves.

I also won't shop to any country which has a horrible human rights record or is currently carrying out a genocide. Or both. Don't want blood money.

A few cycling photos from the last week.
Early morning cycling with Judy so we could be back before it got hot. We took a route designed to go past a lot of trees and much shadow.
Taking parcels to the post office for https://www.dutchbikebits.com I usually use my everyday town bike for this. But it's surprising how much it can carry with a few bungies to hold the larger boxes in place.
Collecting bread from a baker needlessly far from home in order to have a nice ride there and back.
Visiting a yacht harbour with @twilwel on our Sunday ride.

I could really do with a break from this damp and misty weather. It's not especially cold right now, around freezing point, but it's somehow piercing. A cold that you feel despite a decent jacket.

Anyway, more parcels of bike parts began their journeys to customers with a ride on my bike today. Sadly I've decided to stop accepting orders from the USA until we know what's going on with the wild man and his tariffs. When the UK changed its rules for imports it ended up costing me a lot of money (due to parcels sent early enough that they shouldn't have been affected not being delivered and instead being returned broken many months later) and I don't want to risk repeating that experience with the US.

Also from this week, photos of bicycle parts starting their journey to customers. Every parcel starts its journey by bike.

It always surprises me how much extra car traffic there is on wet days. People seem happy to wait time and time again for a green light which only lets through three cars at a time, rather than ride their bikes through what was actually quite mild weather.

And this afternoon I took more bike parts to the "post office". But because this is the modern world and everything is strange now, the "post office" is actually a pet shop.

A few busy cycling days behind me, all I needed to do today was take these parcels to the post office. They were light enough to tie down on top of my basket (which was already full) so I didn't need a trailer.

Today I took parcels to the post office. When I can I do this with the normal town bike. It's by the door, ready to go. But sometimes I need the cargo bike for larger boxes.
If your parcel was on my bike today then you'll already have received email to tell you that the bike parts that you ordered are on their way to you.
