Without fuel they were nothing. They’d built a house of straw. The thundering machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked. But nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled. The cities exploded. A whirlwind of looting, a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men. On the roads it was a white line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to scavenge, fit enough to pedal cargo bikes would survive.
In my area it would make sense to move by cargo bike.
Just to avoid the stress with your new neighbors when you block the whole street for hours with the moving truck.
Anyway, no body does.
In Montreal, we have a company that do moves by bikes with trailers. That is one of their selling point. I don’t know how they deal with snow, or the “National Moving Day” when a lot of people move on the same day in Quebec.
I’d like to know how they deal with large items like davenports, hide-a-beds, and queen or king-size box spring mattresses, just to name a couple of large items the average homeowner or apartment dweller might have.
We come back to this strip every now and then to have a laugh and see how far we have come with our collective project. In Santiago, Chile, we started a collective for making movings by bike called @biciminga. We offer some help just for fun, some beers and something to eat afterwards. So far we’ve performed around fifteen movings, fridge and beds included. You may follow us on Instagram, where we post photos of the action.
hahah my situation!:D
Actually it sounds fun. Like using the my touring bike bags as a shopping cart

So, more Turbo Kid than Mad Max.
Nice one Bill, I can see it now…no more Surly Big Dummy, instead it will be the Surly Apocalypse.
