I've taken recently to going round the estate where I live on foot, armed with a trolley (converted omnitrolly) pole and 50 litres of water. Not too bad as it happens, I thought it'd be a killer, but it's hardly worth starting the van, and only a 15 minute walk from one side to the other. Easy to pop home for a re-fill, and or a cuppa.

Tomorrow, I'm going to have a look at a trailer, one I can fix to my mountain bike...I reckon it'd all go on that.

Anybody else thought of any ideas to beat the fuel prices, go green, reduce carbon footprint, get some excersise , etc ?

The other parts of my round, obviously, I need the van to get to....but you know what ? I'm kind of enjoying it.   

Certainly will, since I got that bike, it's already put an inch on round my legs...wait till I attach a trolley to it ! 

ha, good thing most are out at work then...still, years ago, it's said that cleaners went out on bikes, can't believe it myself, but it's a funny old world.

i picked up a new custy yesterday, he came across and said you know its the first time ive seen a w/c on this estate with a bona fida van and uniform on this estate, at least i know your legit so can you do my windows not that i am against other methods cars, bikes, or on foot, i used to do an estate i lived on with ladders and bucket
