was biking way out in the country and happened across this neat little library! picked up a copy of Susan Slater’s Flash Flood

it did of course have its fair share of evangelical literature but there was absolutely lots of fun (and astonishingly nerdy) stuff in their too! the next time i pass by there i shall pay my debts to the people of course, have no worry about that :)

found the author’s website here

    I’m super-jealous of your back baskets. I want them.

    (Can’t wait for things to be warm enough to bicycle again around here.)

      oh it came with the bicycle! i got the bike for fifty USD at a local place that specializes in cheap, old and weird bike stuff

      if you wanna source one for yourself, from my experience you could probably find one in the bicycle parts section of your local discount home improvement shops (there are a few where i live at least). i see them mostly on cruiser/“womens” bicycles. there are definitely better options but this is quite cheap, and in a pinch you can cut and attach some bits of plywood/osb from that one construction site to expand your cargo area further!

      due to the shape of the baskets (narrower at the bottom than the top), as noted by @anothercatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone more “square” stuff generally doesn’t fit so well. of course for boxes you can just put those on top with a ratchet strap.

      i bike because my only other options are walking, which is too slow, and the bus, which while quite reliable and perfectly adequate for my purposes can still be beaten by bicycle. nonetheless i still quite enjoy it, so as a fellow bicyclist i sincerely hope your weather situation improves!
