Very cool. "Friend with a bike" is the new "friend with a pickup."
Moving by bike
So cool. Would be a great service for me since I'm moving 5 blocks away.
There was someone from here who moved from Bloomfield to Lawrenceville and a bunch of us with trailers and hauling bikes helped out.
Who was it that moved?
That wasn't me, but I did move at least half of my stuff from my old place to where I'm living now using just my bike and a bunch of milk crates (about 20 crates, to be exact. I tied them together after I unpacked and now they're a DIY bed frame).
It was probably just 5 or 6 blocks, and it happened over the course of a week, but I was so proud that I didn't break anything while I did it.
I think it was Willie we moved.
On a related note, I saw a guy and girl moving a full size mattress via bike trailer @ Murray & Forbes on Saturday afternoon. I gave them a big thumbs-up as I went past them, but they didn't seem to be having as much fun as we did when we did it last year.
Yes that was me. That was really a fun time, I'm not sure my cats would agree though
there is a great (And funny) episode of Portlandia on this exact topic.
Ha, yes! Just spent a lot of time on Portlandia this wkend.
