Last weekend I participated in a Portland-style bike move. A friend from work was moving house and one of her friends suggested moving by bicycle. She borrowed a few trailers and spread the word. When I heard about it I decided the Yuba and I had to be a part of it. There were two trailers, 3 normal bikes with baskets or panniers and one folding bike, and the Yuba Mundo. We managed to move everything in two trips (the second trip only needed 5 of us).
All in all it was a surprisingly easy affair to move a person’s possessions around 6 km by bike. I hope this idea takes off in Manchester, not only was it green, it was also a great chance to meet like minded people and have a fun time.
