In 2007 I bought my first cycle trailer. I replaced it after a few years with a Carry Freedom flatbed trailer on which I have attached a large plastic tool box I bought from B&Q, I have made it removable and so have the option of box or flatbed. I use it mostly for grocery shopping or moving equipment I need for a hobby but in addition to this I frequently buy garden compost from my local B&Q and can transport 3 x 70 litre bags. I stopped driving around 10 years ago and except for around 3 occasions when I have hired a car I haven't missed one. Whilst panniers are good, they are not as protective as my set up in carrying groceries and things like bread tends to get squashed. I have bought two supermarket type shopping baskets which it take round in my trolley and then pack up at the till and carry and place in the trailer.

My car battery has died and I have to pick new one up from the store 11 miles away... Wasn't sure about getting a taxi or asking friends so I take my bike as I find it safer. It was very pleasurable experience! I definitely will go shopping using my bike. All I need is a good pannier bag. Thanks for the video! Take care.
