How to ride my bike to market

"Best hour of 2009 so far!"
How I did it: I bought a really nice monocog bike in the fall - late summer really. It's been sitting in my house all winter. Yesterday happened to be relatively warm for the parts, AND it was a market day. So I saddled up and went.
Lessons & tips: Make sure your paniers or baskets can hold a lot of stuff securely.
A monocog is a bit challenging to get used to, but I like simplicity in design and this is perfect. But it may not be suited to your mode of transport.
