Welcome Joe! For regular groceries, I can get 6-7 bags' worth on my bike without a trailer, 8 with a backpack: http://www.thechainlink.org/photo/6-grocery-bags-worth?context=user
If you search Brian Kennedy among members of chainlink, he has a photo up of a nice trailer he is selling. I own a similar one. Anyone have experience with other kinds? A resource: http://cargocycling.org/

Hey! Just a general novice question from non-bike-mover: who makes the best trailer for hauling groceries or recycling variety stuff? It doesn't have to hold a fridge, just a bunch of bags; and maybe, on occasion, a second bicycle.
Hey bike movers... Willow suggested I give a shout - I'm super desperate on nearly no notice whatsoever...
I'm leaving Chicago for good after working at CBF turned Active Trans. Was leaving in the fall, but things sped up a bit. I had a hand for Wednesday night, but now it's gotta be Tuesday. After 6pm.
I have lots of stuff to donate - left over furniture, too. If you need a coffee table or rug or couch... just let me know - I'd glad to give you fun stuff to trailer home after!
I know I've moved several times in the last few years and my moving
karma is dangerously low. However, those of you who've helped me out
with bike moves in the past will recall that I don't have much furniture
and the work to hanging out ratio is always favorable.
After an enjoyable stay at T. C.'s place in East Garfield Park I'm drinking
the Albany Avenue Kool Aid and moving to the 2400 block of N. Albany,
where a gaggle of our bike-y friends live.
This should be another relatively easy move, taking stuff from the second
and 1st floor of T.C.'s building and moving it three miles north to a 1st
floor apartment.
We'll meet up at T.C.'s, 2934 W. Fulton, 1st floor at 11 am or so.
As usual, doughnuts, bagels and coffee beforehand, pizza and beer
afterwards on the nice back deck.
