40 lbs. of food

 

When I go grocery shopping on the bike, I either pick up a few things I really want or I've got a long list that I won't be able to load onto the bike. I'm getting better at selecting what goes on the bike without crushing the bread or breaking the eggs. I've also learned what should go in the pannier versus the backpack. (Summer rules mean cold stuff goes against my back.)

As I'm posting this, it occurs to me that I need to take pictures of what is in each of the panniers and the backpack. I brought home peanut butter, grits, two loaves of bread, a dozen eggs, cans of soup, avocados, black-eyed peas, walnuts, fig newtons, yogurt cups, and bananas, but all you can see in this photo is a couple of boxes of breakfast cereal.
