Step Ladder by Bike


Lots of bikey activity of late. Mostly with the kids in the Bakfiets. We have been harvesting wild blackberries from a remote hedgerow. Works great- ride along the trail til you see a good spot. Stop, let the kids play, and pick a few litres of berries. I noticed, however, that there were SO many good berries just out of reach. I think some people thought it a bit odd, but it worked really well to take the step ladder by bike. Actually much more efficient than driving, parking, and carrying the ladder 3 or 4 hundred metres down the trail on foot. Just ride up and pick! As for riding with the ladder- easy.
