Yvette Koutsoupis 10/09/2018 5:52 AMRiding my bicycle to the market instead of taking the car. I purchased a bag which looks like a box and attached it to the back of my bike so that I can put all my groceries and transport them back home that way. Added some ice packs so my perishables stay cold and fresh <3 -
