Buying a Christmas Tree Without a Car

For the 2nd year in a row I bought my Christmas Tree early yesterday. Early for Christmas that is, not half-7 in the morning.

NOTE for all XtraCycle enthusiasts: Hello! The photo below was taken in December 2005. The FreeRad is quite simply the best thing I ever bought. Since the photo was taken I have moved with my XtraCycled-bike from America back to Ireland. Other cycling posts are below the photo.

It was raining all day yesterday, so I don’t have a photograph, but luckily for you I took a photo last year of exactly how I did it without a car then. And as it happens this year’s tree is identical to last year’s - those things are so common they must grow on trees.

The man was very helpful as he walked out of the shop into the car park carrying my tree while I carried my helmet.
-Now which car is yours?

That’s a bike?!?!

You’re not thinking of bringing that contraption back to Ireland are ya? You’ll never get around corners (even without the Christmas tree).

Oh, in case I forget: Yuletide felicitations and all that.

Oh it’s coming all right. As the song says, Love me, love my bicycle. I’ll just need a sign to advise traffic behind me not to over-take on the inside.

And eh, yeah, enjoy the eh, stuff, ya know.
