My work recently renovated their bike room to have nicer bike racks and a locker room so I decided to try it out! Definitely looking forward to commuting by bike even if just a few days every week.

I wouldn’t normally be hauling a cardboard box around but I had a package to ship.

I remember Surly having a warning about kickstands on bikes that weren't built with them in mind. Also, for the traditional kickstand arrangement, you need to be lucky to be able to dig through a pannier without the whole thing toppling over.

My previous daily driver was a cargo bike where the kids could climb on it like a playground and it wouldn't fall over. I'm definitely missing it on my current bike and I'm thinking about a clickstand kind of thing.
