My love for succulents combined with my lack of a cargo bike made for a very interesting ride for three adorable little plants, plus a fourth in my bottle cage. Fortunately the ride was only a few miles, and everyone arrived unscathed!<br /><br />I don't qualify, unfortunately, but I did want to share :]Psyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15254881593674679671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467858377106451384.post-45338269070793464962014-06-25T16:00:30.234-04:002014-06-25T16:00:30.234-04:00UK reader here!

At 50p it was a steal and just too good to leave! (and my eyes are bigger than my belly). Anyway, it was 15 undulating miles from home - the saddlebag spat out the marrow umpteen times, sending it rolling into verges. It was a sorry sight when it arrived in the kitchen .... but I still managed to use at least half of it.<br />I have photographic evidence, should you want to see this beast!!!!! :0)Jammie Dodger Rideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07681620421105305087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467858377106451384.post-77880033898184484292014-06-25T06:13:12.981-04:002014-06-25T06:13:12.981-04:00…to a Lovely Bicycle reader located in the UK or I...…to a Lovely Bicycle reader located in the UK or Ireland<br /><br />"Ireland" includes Boston, yes?Jimmynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467858377106451384.post-67012290829558319212014-06-25T05:56:08.402-04:002014-06-25T05:56:08.402-04:00Ohhh, both fun *and* useful - win win!
