When you don't have a car / driver's license, you learn to improvise. :)
You should've seen me when I picked up a #secondHand #PS3 and #XBox360 + accessories and games with my bike. Two fairly heavy bags attached to the front of my backpack with carabineer hooks, and the backpack itself also loaded. Prob not the safest way, but you gotta make do. 😅
