Good luck Michael! I've been car-less for years and haven't missed the hassle of a car. For home depot or other large runs we either borrow cars from friends or use Zipcar car sharing. Since you plan on using your bike for everything including groceries, do yourself a favor and put a rack on that bike and then get some panniers as you'll want to your luggings to be lower center of gravity. Also, skip the heavy metal baskets and go for the fabric kind of panniers. Arkel makes awesome panniers, but others will do.

Also, get some lights and srsly wear a helmet—especially since you're filming yourself and not paying attention to the road!

Wow that is convoluted but brilliant workaround. Been thinking of setting up a FB page for SF Tweed or Balsa Man and I thought twitter->fb page would just work. Thanks for the fix and heads up that it doesn't just work. That just saved me tons of screaming obscenities.

Looks like a totally fun place!
