Making a bicycle your primary mode of transportation for getting to all those places you need to go – work, school, grocery store, coffee shop, and so on – is a solid accomplishment. It’s good for you, good for the community, and good for the Earth. But check this out…
Moving your home by bike.
No trucks. No moving guys. Just your two wheels, a trailer, and the same commitment to making a bicycle the one and only form of transportation you use. Oh… and a whole bunch of other folks with their two wheels and the same commitment.
Check out this GREAT VIDEO of a move by bike!
The move took place in Portland, OR – a city that has made major commitments to the bicyclist and commuter lifestyle. The move was made possible by SHIFT, “a loose-knit and informal bunch of bike-loving folks.” Their web site (www.shift2bikes.org) has a page that allows folks to post requests for two-wheeled help with a move.
Check out the video and web site to get inspired about what is possible on two wheels.
