Heavy laden... by maggiemae

Heavy laden...

With my trusty electric bicycle, Ruby, I can zip down to the supermarket and load up!

There is also a heavy bag in the front basket. I have to carry my camera over my shoulder.


Three good things;
1. Even a whole pineapple and lots of other fruit got into the panniers
2. The heaviest articles are milk, yoghurt and wine - a great diet!
3. LIsteners' Request on the radio!
An electric bike. Now THAT I would like!!

Wow do you wobble at all ....the balance must be quite fine at times.....those are amazingly deep panniers.....you could get lots of shopping in there! I like the wine bit! Don't fall off there would be wine all over the road! Loved to see this ...part of daily life at the other side of the world!

What fun! I think I'd definitely be up for trying your electric bicycle. :)

Great shot and the way you've added all those colourss is fabulous.

@happypat I have to be very careful - the weight in the front basket is the worst - can make me wobble a bit but thats OK - the cars all give me a wide berth!
March 14th, 2015  
What a great bike.
March 14th, 2015  
Great idea, I could do with one of those! Like the processing .
March 14th, 2015  
So this is the super bike . Those big panniers look a bit precarious -- but I suppose you get used to them and know how to balance the contents for a safe drive home !

@beryl its not far Beryl but down a main road with big trucks so I have to be careful - a slight wobble and they keep well over!
March 14th, 2015  
Wonderful, love the panniers.

This really is a super bike! How many miles do you have to ride to your super market?
March 14th, 2015  
Super bike and panniers, could get a months shopping in them. :) Does seem a little precarious.
March 14th, 2015  
@gijsje Its only about 1/2 mile, Bep!
March 14th, 2015  
What a great portrait of Ruby. Love your processing here. Wine...good to see you have room for the essentials in those panniers
March 14th, 2015  
Electric bike ?? That's cheating. Lol.

@markp I have to peddle to make it go, Mark but it gives me the extra oomph to get up hills or bike into headwinds!
March 14th, 2015  
@ubobohobo oh, and there was a bottle of buttermilk for pancakes too!

Great panniers. I could do with an electric bike for the hills near where I live in Cornwall but I don't know if I'd be that safe on one. You obviously ride it perfectly as there is not a scratch on it

Awesome Shot

Smart cycle very eco

Nice image.

Good for you, Maggie! I have a very old, heavy and funky bicycle and I often think I'd enjoy an electric bicycle to give me (and my gear) a boost.
March 14th, 2015  
Remember to charge the battery.
March 15th, 2015  
It looks like you could hold a lot on there! Nice shot.
March 15th, 2015  
Nice to see a close up shot of Ruby! She looks mah-velous! you impress me with your athletic prowess too!
March 15th, 2015  
What a great way to get around
March 15th, 2015  
Very cool ride!
March 15th, 2015  
@yaorenliu The battery seems to last for ages, Yao!
March 15th, 2015  
@grammyn Not athletic, Katy just moving the joints!
March 15th, 2015  
What a great set up. You are sure getting a lot of use and exercise, well fresh air out with your bike.
March 15th, 2015  
@darsphotos The fresh air is so good, Darlene - all I have to do is get up and do it!
March 15th, 2015  
Lovely Machine Maggie, great shot.
March 15th, 2015  
Nice capture and processing
March 15th, 2015  
What a great way to do the shopping and do like the list of your heavy items. You've got your priorities right.
March 15th, 2015  
Quite a load to carry on a bike. Bet you have to struggle to keep your balance. Magnificent capture.
March 15th, 2015  
Hello Ruby! I love the idea of an electric bike!
March 15th, 2015  
A lovely picture of Ruby. I would get al my grocery shopping easily home on this bike, riding it is another matter. don't know if I could balance it properly anymore. my husband gave my bike away. he said I'm too old for riding a bike and he wants me safe. I do miss it,.
March 15th, 2015  
@maggiemae at my age, anyway, moving the joints is athletic prowess! (:
March 15th, 2015  
Love it!!! You can join me :-)
March 15th, 2015  
a wonderful photo
March 15th, 2015  
wow that is some serious laden'ing maggie :)
March 15th, 2015  
All you need are a couple of passengers to go with. Hahaha
March 16th, 2015  
@flygirl I wish you wouldn't laugh like that, Dee! But they could run alongside!
March 16th, 2015  
@maggiemae Oh Sorry.
March 16th, 2015  
@flygirl I am being funny, Dee - !
March 16th, 2015  
@maggiemae oh good. Thought maybe I offended you. Last thing I would want to do.
March 16th, 2015  
@flygirl Thats the trouble with the net - you can't see the twinkle in peoples eyes when they say something!
March 16th, 2015  
I love how you have processed this - the over-exposure and the colours are super. It's a fav for me.
March 16th, 2015  
Great shot and processing!! Not sure I like the idea of you wobbling on the road with those panniers full of your shopping!! Be careful and stay safe!!
March 16th, 2015  
So true, so true.
March 17th, 2015  
Yay Ruby!! She's a little workhorse!
March 17th, 2015  
Beautiful processing! Btw, thanks for a recent remark of yours about my work in which you used the word "art". You could not have pleased me more.
