    The author could be the first to use a bike to haul furniture if he wanted to

      Furniture gets moved by bike here all the time in the Netherlands ? We got this amazing invention called a bakfiets (tub bike) or we just balance it on the back.

        Cool. Because we here in the US are so ice-centric though, we default to that for moving heavy things

          Not saying i wouldn’t rather have had a car to move shit around but it’s certainly doable for some things.

      When I lived in Switzerland I literally used a bike to haul furniture (flat packed). Honestly it’s easier than you might imagine.

      I brought a big tv home on my bike too. It’s quite achievable, if awkward.

      But a cargo bike would have been a better choice than my conventional bike.

      Bicycle trailers are a thing for a reason. I’m sure hauling a washer and dryer would be difficult but a sofa is easily achievable. For heavy stuff most places offer delivery for free or really cheap
