How to Carry 70 Pounds of Groceries on a Bike

I've been a bike commuter all my life and I wouldn't have it any other way. I inevitably get asked all sorts of silly questions about how I survive without a car. In today's video, I show how I do my grocery shopping by bike. When you're only option is to travel around town on two wheels, everything becomes an adventure, which makes everything FUN!

I took my car off the road. I have an electric bike now. You are right. Riding a bike makes you feel like a kid again. I love it !

[@duzer]

Riding bikes is the best feeling ever! Congrats on going car free, I bet you're a happier man these days. Cheers

[@GodfreyGuitar]

I started biking this past summer to lose weight - 70 pounds down the last time I weighed in, and that was before I started bike commuting. When I'm riding my bike, I'm actually having fun on my way to work, which is more than I can say about driving to work. I have so much fun riding my bike that I decided to make it my main form of transportation. After challenging myself to go car-free for a month in January, I decided to take the plunge. I'm selling my car next week and will be riding my bike exclusively for work, pleasure, and fitness from now on. With the proceeds from the car (a whopping $750), I'm planning on ordering a Priority bike (probably the the L Train). That'll be my main bike, and my current bike will be my back-up. Your videos have helped inspire me to take this leap at the age of 56 years young, and I really appreciate what you do.

[@duzer]

Oh wow!! I’m so impressed with your journey and that you’re selling your car-that’s awesome!! Bike life is the best! Happy trails, my friend

[@denverspin]

Awesome! Congratulations! I hope things are working out for you.

[@devinm.6149]

I find using reusable bags at grocery stores often comes with a small discount to your total; my local grocery store gives 5¢ off.

[@hemaccabe4292]

My wife caught me watching this video. I showed it to her and she got excited about bike riding.

[@duzer]

Yay!!!

[@MrBraffZachlin]

good stuff here my man. i've been car free for a cpl years now and while it is super convenient and in some ways and circumstances needed to own a car i find if you have one you always opt to use it. since i've been walking and cycling everywhere for everything it also forces me to consider whether i actually need what i'm buying and prvents impulse buys when i go to stores. for me not having a car re-enforces self control and saves me a shit ton of money. and im not even gonna get into the mental peace i've realized since forgoing an automobile. what i mean is in a car over time we become impatient to an unacceptable degree imo and if you are walking or cycling i just find for whatever reason that hurry up and urgency etc that makes us impatient doesn't seem to happen. i think it's because i do my best thinking daily on my treks to work or the store. it's akin to moving meditation. lastly it keeps us closer to that natural reward man feels when he works for his needs directly not through surrogate activities like a job which is too far removed subconciously from obtaining your basic needs. i am not saying jobs are bad btw, just that we should work more directly to meet our needs whether it be raising animals or farming for your own food or trekking and cycling to buy them. the point is some effort needs to be applied directly to fulfill that basic need in order for your brain to asscociate it as a reward for the effort.. working, then getting a check and then driving to the store does not fulfill the mind in the same way because eating that meal is so far removed from the effort it took to meet that need.

[@denverspin]

Right on, bro. You make a lotta sense. I appreciate your words.

[@zootopia8586]

I watched this video years ago and I am happy to say I have been grocerybiking for a few years now. Thanks man.

Last month I moved from a large luxury home in Los Angeles to a small beachfront house in Florida. I sold my Corvette convertible and all my other fancy cars and bought a used bike for $50. The ocean is 500’ from my front door and surfers use the side of my yard as a shortcut to the ocean. I am so much happier now and biking everywhere is the icing on the proverbial cake!

[@duzer]

Right on!! Congrats on the move

[@bruce.KAY-bike-drifter]

Excellent retirement plan. Watch out for those hurricanes.

[@BrieKrogman]

I honestly love love these videos. Something so nice about seeing a grocery shopping haul, as well as the trek there. Makes me rethink some of my spending honestly when it’s “not necessary”...if I had to bike everywhere the world and I, would be so much better

[@duzer]

Thanks! When you shop on your bike, you definitely only buy stuff you need

[@jacobtb1]

I walk and use a roll cart. It folds up into a briefcase when not in use. Super handy.

[@philscomputerlab]

I'm a car less person too. But I walk to work and shops, I live that close :) I'm moving now and will be biking. I totally agree that you feel free and that it takes you bake to feeling like a kid. My work / ships is much closer than your ride, so I once I got everything sorted I should be good to go. I will get a basket at the font and back, that should be enough for the time being.

Nice vid. Was elated to see you use/used the Bob Trailer. Back in 2000 when I solo rode my Lightning Stealth recumbent across America from Washington D.C. to San Francisco, Ca, a trip that took me an amazingly satisfying 12 weeks, I too used a Bob Trailer. It was great.

Just scored a BOB Yak trailer to help with shopping. It’s all part of my car use reduction for reasons we all know we cannot ignore. This fun video has just added to my confidence in making the change. My only worry is that I live amongst some tough hills. I’ve lowered the gearing on the tow bike so it’s now down to patience to grind uphill. Wish me luck 😎

[@jessicawang3428]

This video is so refreshing!! I was thinking of alternatives for a car, and I am so excited after watching this.

[@Coolness59]

I can't believe I missed this video until today!! Autos are a necessity for us, and do take us to adventures, i.e. backpacking trips, family, cycling trips, etc..... We need to get places somehow. We also need them to get to work. That being said, we love our Trek FX3's and ride them as much as we can. :) Great video!! How far did you ride to the store?

[@mbrabs9204]

I've just recently discovered your channel Ryan and I'm enjoying catching up. I'm a fellow bike commuter from the UK who occasionally drives a car. I'm tempted to get a trailer now so no excuse not to go grocery biking! I'm doing a 3 day tour of Yorkshire this weekend and will be having a bean burrito in your honour! Cheers!

That trailer cart looks super helpful! I remember back in college when I dangled five or six full bags over my handlebars and tried to balance my way back to my apartment. In the hot Arizona sun 😂 💀

[@ShermanSitter]

You are amazing! I have a car and have driven one, but i'm down to about 150 miles per year. :) I use a trailer that holds a ton of weight and bags, but your idea looks easier and more agile. I like it!

[@duzer]

Nice! One less car is a great thing!

[@lotusgroup123]

Here’s an idea: many elderly people really do depend on their cars to do their shopping. How many cyclists out there could help these older people by offering the time they would normally use for recreational cycling to bring them their groceries?

[@duzer]

Great idea!

[@thomashughes_teh]

Why I have a car for the first time in years...Mom lost her license and now I'm her driver. While watching this I had the thought to leave the car at her house and ride the bike there for her trips. Absence of car payment and insurance and maintenance and fuel = more money for the good stuff at the grocery store.

[@hjeffwallace]

My wife & I have 3 grown daughters. I was insuring 5 cars. The most expensive to insure was our old minivan. It was also the least popular. Since our auto and home were bundled, it was cheaper to cover all 5 drivers for all 5 cars. So I sold the minivan for $3000 and biked to work for a year. After an injury, I got an electric car ($5000). I built an electric bike yesterday, and I’m about to go pick up groceries…

[@Brandon-xp1ob]

Yes! Always enjoy your videos. I grocery shop by bike but you crank it up to the next level Ryan. I max at with about 20lbs in my rack basket. Keep rolling! Cheers from LA!

Good video, you have an entertaining personality, and it is clear that you are very passionate about your lifestyle. If more Americans (both rural and urban) shared your mindset, we would be in much better shape as a society married to our environment. I love to go grocery-biking too - not out of necessity, but pure enjoyment. I built what I call a "hillbilly mountain cruiser", which is a camouflaged XC MTB with cruiser seat & extended handlebars. I use a front/back basket-rack system with fishing rod holders, and a rucksack for gallons of milk & such, and it is great for river fishing and duck hunting as well. You and I are not that dissimilar (I hate those damn plastic bags too ;-) Safe riding.

[@Trespasser66]

Excellent. We stopped driving back in 2013 due to rising motoring costs and in 3 years we haven't really been stuck for shopping. One of the things we bought just after being car less was a cheap "BOB" type trailer and it has certainly earned its keep in the 3 years we have owned it, this year it had a new coat of paint so it matches my bike and I have also upgraded the wheel and fitted a rack and two mudguards to it (one front, one rear). One of the annoying things I found is that all the stuff that is kicked up by the back wheel of the bike is then thrown over the trailer, its bag, and contents so hopefully by modifying the fit of a front mudguard I can cut most of it out. This is sill a 'work in progress' thing at the moment but I have mental plans of how to make it work without causing other issues, I do love though how people make the assumption that its a struggle to do shopping by bike rather than by car ...... Bring on a fuel crisis then we'll see who struggles....

[@duzer]

I wish I lived in Colorado it looks beautiful there. I live in Phoenix Arizona and in the summer it gets too hot to ride bikes comfortably.

Until it snows and you can't ride during winter.

I'm 63, and I ride on a mountain bike all over town here in Riverside, CA. I got my first car when I was 18 and it just makes me sick to think of the hundreds of thousands of dollars I have spent on cars, parts, repairs, GASOLINE, insurance, registration, traffic and parking tickets, etc. through the years up until just a few years ago when I decided to go car free.

Thanks for covering this. I intend to go car free, this summer.

Have fun with the transition!

My car is having transmitted issues, and I just decided to get rid of cars altogether and get a bike! Nice to see a guy with the same idea in CO!

[@duzer]

Do it!

[@pang890528]

Great video. Yea who doesn’t like biking if you know how to ride one? Biker here, commute to work everyday on bike for 2 years now, and everytime I cycle, it feels fresh and never bored!

[@duzer]

I totally agree!!!
