          What goes around comes around.

          I used a Japanese "working bike" a half century ago as part of my newspaper jobs. It had a 28" frame, and heavy duty bike rack. These type bikes still exist.

 

 

          The sky is the limit as to ideas and uses and designs these days.

          Right now I plan on using a wheel barrow, if times get hard. That's at least for the shorter distances, like less than 3 miles round trip. I figure it might get used mostly for barter uses, but who knows for sure? After all, it has farm type uses, too.

          Have you noticed that working bicycle use (vice recreational use) is popular where the land tends to be flat.
