I'm rolling thunder, pouring rain
I'm coming on like a hurricane.
-- AC/DC "Hell's Bells"
A couple of weekends ago while riding up St. George St. and turning west on Harbord St., I saw this cyclist with a big wicker basket on her rack, towing a plastic kiddie trailer along in the bike lane.
It's not exactly unusual to see cyclists in this area, even cyclists towing trailers. This one in particular caught my attention because it wasn't a "real" bike trailer, and there was this big hexagonal glass aquarium perched on top. The plastic trailer also made this wonderful "rolling thunder" sound as it was pulled along the pavement. The hollow plastic wheels picked up all the vibrations from the road and amplified it through the body of the hollow plastic sides of the trailer.
It just seemed like such a fun and easy solution for moving a bunch of stuff that most people would want to put into a car, and would be cumbersome (if not impossible) to bring on the TTC.
Ride on, rolling thunder!
