….I follow a blog Urban Simplicity that regularly posts Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike
Well last week we discovered something that definitely doesn’t travel well on a bike. As you may know it was my birthday and my husband was in charge of the meal and the birthday cake.
The meal was a fantastic five course Indian spread that K made completely from scratch. It was fabulous and there was enough left over for another meal for two. The only problem was with the cake. My husband is also a good baker but time ran out so he rode his bike to the local Italian bakery to buy a German Black Forest cake. I know….Indian, Italian, German?
Anyway San Remo makes wonderful birthday cakes and it’s always our go to place when we don’t have time to bake. K didn’t think carrying the cake would be problem because he has a flat carrier on the front of his bike and he was able to strap it in place so it wouldn’t slide around.
I guess the ride must have been a little (or a lot) bumpy because when he got home and opened the box this is what he saw:
As you can see he was a little embarrassed. No need. It was delicious just the same.
Have you experienced anything that CAN’T be carried on a bike?


Aww. Too bad. I’m sure it tasted delicious. Happy birthday. In Africa they carry everything on bicycles. I saw a man transporting a large wheelbarrow on the back of his bike.

Poor soul! And he was trying so hard. Hope you had a great birthday. My husband’s was on Sunday and we spent a great afternoon in Edinburgh enjoying the last day of festival activities and crowds.

Awwww that cake sure looks edible so it’s good you ate it anyway. On the plus side, it made for a funny story, too. Happy belated birthday!
