strapped on with love…

July 14th, 2008

chris and i have been riding our bikes around town like the local dutch residents. it’s amazing the things they transport on their bikes. so in efforts to keep up we decided to bring our groceries back via bikes this evening. on the way we stopped for some fresh mint tea (me) and jupiler beer for chris. my flimsy plastic bag of groceries broke so chris strapped some items to my bike as i paid our bill. i heard him chuckle in the background as he secured our goods, but didn’t think much of it because that’s a common occurrence with him. he did however say “when you get on don’t lean back too much”.

when i walked over to my bike this is what i found…

our toilet paper, a cucumber and jam neatly strapped to the back of my bicycle!!!

was he trying to tell me something or is that the best he could do in efforts to transport our groceries back to the houseboat???

luckily for me,  we were really close to the house so i didn’t have to encounter any strange xxx rated looks….
