Does anyone have any experience working out how they can do their groceries without having to use the car? I've recently gotten back on the bike and am LOVING it. I still struggle up hills and so far I've done minor grocery shopping with a backpack on my back - I thought about hooking up a rear rack (don't have one right now) and then hooking up some panniers (or even hooking up my backpack onto it) - I don't mind riding with the backpack but it can get really heavy after you pop in a bag of potatoes...
I was looking into trailers but am not real confident that I'd be able to pull them up hill - I live in the Hills District and they don't call it that for nothing. Already without a trailer hooked up I'm walking up some of those hills. It's not far to the shops (3.5km) - just hilly. So would you suggest I wait till I build up my fitness before embarking on getting too adventurous with the groceries?
thanks for the advice
