I'm trying to get my hands on a bike trailer so I can at least do my grocery shopping and such by bicycle. I was pointed in the direction of one by fearsclave, but unfortunately that person hasn't replied to my email yet. I am looking elsewhere, but the ones I've found so far are all a bit out of my price range.
I looked into maybe biking to work when I get into better shape, but even at a good clip (which I can't sustain right now) it would take me 2.5 hours one way, which means I'd be away from home for 17 hours. Given that I have a dog and actually need to sleep, this is not practical.
I've also looked into public transit, and the quickest route to work would take me almost as long as cycling, so that's a no go as well, at least until the service improves locally. *sigh*
