Seven Generational Ruminations

I went grocery shopping this evening and it struck me along the way how the way I do it is so normal to me, but so obviously out of normality to what I see people around me doing. The roads were filled with cars scurrying around, going to shopping or dinner or whatever, and there I was on my electric bicycle hauling a cargo trailer with a fine selection of cloth bags.

In the U.S. towing a trailer behind a bicycle to go grocery shopping is a strange idea. I'm the only person I know of who does this. Yet the last time I did, this guy rode up beside me and asked where I'd gotten the trailer, and he had been looking for this exact thing.
