We moved in together. Step by step. First Jess moved to my place, then we moved to our new home together. When Jess moved in at my old place, I did the move by bike. As it was a move inside the same town, this was an easy challenge.
A friend from the bikekitchen and I had just recently built a huge cargobike which was perfect for the job. Paired with the bikekitchen’s big DIY-biketrailer it is about 6.50m (~20ft) long and offers tons of space for furniture and boxes.
Moving was never so much fun before, as the passers-by were all interested and friendly and also Motorists were patient. I guess the big bike made quite some impression.
For the complete move of the appartment I did 5 runs, two if which were with the big trailer. 5km each ride made a run 10 km, summing up to 50km total ridden in 1 day – with cargo.
The money we saved for the moving-truck was spent on a yummy dinner for 2 instead.
That’s how cargobikes are fun, keep you fit and are an investment in your relationship 😉
