Burning calories is a lot cheaper than burning gas. Where I live you'd have to be a gorilla to haul 600 lbs on a bike. Too many hills.Quote:

Only problem I can foresee is while you're looking for more goodies, someone comes along and cleans out your lot.
gears are great for hills/
my bike cost me more then my work truck
van = $300
bike = $1,000
I would die on the hills around me if I was going downhill with 600lbs in a trailer behind me! Sounds like a real good Idea tho if you live in flat country!
I think this is part of the future of scrapping, along with other small lightweight options, such as pickup trikes and Harleys pulling trailers. The last time at the yard I saw someone walk there with a load in a baby stroller.
