October provided several excellent opportunities for me to experiment with the cargo carrying capacities of the Yuba Mundo.

On Shannon’s birthday, Ada and I went to fetch the cake from Patisserie Poupon. I brought a tub to put it in. Once we got there I was uncertain that I could make it work. I plied A with cookies, so she sat patiently while I worked on the best way to carry the cake.

Safely home!

The opening of the new Target was really exciting. Especially when I realized we could bike there. Their bike racks are super tall and a bit awkward, but hooray for not having to drive.

Not pictured is the giant box of diapers that we carried home.

Our final interesting haul of the month was pumpkins from the farmer’s market. In the past we have had to remember to drive to the market on the days we wanted to make a large purchase. Not anymore! As I was fiddling with the pumpkins, my friend Amber wandered by. She offered to drive the rear pumpkin home for us. At that point I had just finished making everything tight, so I shook the whole bike, by wiggling the pumpkin, which didn’t move at all. Amber laughed and told me she thought I had it all under control.
