Is it bigger than a bike basket?

G and I have been cruisin' all around on our new bikes. We rode to our volleyball game* a couple of days ago, we rode to a neighborhood social at a restaurant last night, and we plan to ride to garage sales in the morning.

The great thing about riding our bikes to garage sales is that we won't be tempted to buy anything big. We can only purchase things that will fit in my bike basket. That's good, because the second half of our house remodeling will include turning our upstairs storage room into a guest room. It's filled with stuff right now, so in order to make it livable, we need to purge. Needless to say, buying lots of new things at garage sales is not helpful for that plan.

Of course, you remember that I bought my bike at a garage sale, so the bike basket rule isn't necessarily binding.

* We play on the county rec league. The season hasn't officially started yet, but we had practice this week. We played all the teams that showed up (4 or 5), and we won all our games. That usually doesn't hold up for the whole season, but we'll take it. We're undefeated in the pre-season!
