Textbook delivery via bicycle

Bicycle pannier on counter-top, stuffed with books in plastic bags just visible out of the top edge of the pannier. A small stack of books is on the counter in front of, and slightly to the right of the pannier

Rode my bicycle to Santa Rosa City Schools this morning, for a district meeting. The distance represents just a few minutes’ ride from Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts. I stuffed my pannier, trunk bag, and backpack full of instructional materials for delivery back to my site. Talk about a win-win; my school’s teachers will get their books as soon as I’ve cataloged them; my bicycle was that much more stable during wind-gusts thanks to the added weight; plus I’ve saved someone else maybe having to make a delivery that put them out of their way.
