Too Much Cargo? Too Many Errands? Not with a Mundo

I had a small window of time and 3 errands to run, each involving a decent-to-large amount of cargo.

Decision-time:

Do I just take the car?

Or do I add a 4th errand on top of the mix (getting exercise) and take the Mundo?

Seeing that I don’t also write a separate blog about driving my Mazda around town, you can probably guess what I chose.

Long story short, here are my 3 hauls:

#1 – A cartload of assorted goodies and staples (including cat food) from Trader Joe’s:

#2 – A couple bags of fresh goodness (including 10lbs of apples, 10lbs of oranges, honey and eggs!) from the big Farmers Market under the freeway:

#3 – One 48lb bag of dog food for our furry little family members, courtesy of Smart’n’Final:

So, I’m very glad I chose to ride this day.  It always helps my outlook to be on a bike, as opposed to being in the car, sequestered from my environment.  I even ran into a few friends at the Farmers Market, then made some new acquaintances when I parked my Mundo next to theirs.  Here’s a shot of my beast and their nice orange ride:

And here’s a shot of how the groceries fit (prior to the dog food plopping on top).  As I’ve mentioned in other posts, a regular wine box will fit perfectly in the Monkey Bars, and my big green bag is loaded with veggies in the Peanut Shell seat.  I’ve also got groceries in the plastic bucket panniers up front:
