If anyone claims you can't carry something by bike, I bet you can! (streets.mn)

Last year when moving from one apartment to another, I transported all my furniture and possessions by bike!

I wanted to challenge myself to do it all by bike, so I started the lease on my new apartment a month before my old lease expired.

So they spent an entire month additional rent probably like $1500+ so that they could do this??? Carrying stuff in bikes is fun, but this seems pretty out of touch.

My rent is $1k, not an insurmountable extra cost for just one month. Even if I were going to do it by car, I wouldn't have wanted to start my new lease right when the old one ended, because the added stress of moving everything in one day would have been significant.
