We're hauling $300 worth of groceries back home... BY BIKE!
This is part two of our Costco run using an electric long tail cargo bike (Tern GSD)!
In this video, Katie Lardner takes us through the shopping experience while I handle the filming (as per usual).
In the first part, we covered the journey from Wortley Village to Costco, discussing the biking infrastructure in London, Ontario. Now, we’re diving into the logistics of grocery shopping for a family of four with an electric cargo bike.
Katie shares tips on how to determine just how much you can carry on a bike, and we’ll load up $300 worth of groceries before heading back home. Along the way, we’ll chat, provide insights, and face some interesting challenges on the ride back.
Let’s get shopping!

![Why Everyone You Know Is (Secretly) Drowning In Debt
Ever wonder how your coworker with the $100K truck, your vacation-obsessed neighbour, or your iPhone-upgrading friend “afford” it all… all the time? Whats the secret? Thats what this videos about.
I expose how banks, marketers, and your own brain team up to trap you in endless debt, whether you earn 30k or 300k.
Drawing from my time when I sold overpriced warranties to broke college kids, I’ll reveal how “affordable” financing, social media flex culture, and FOMO keep you broke.
Discover why even high earners live paycheck-to-paycheck, how “Buy Now, Pay Later” scams work, and why the American Dream is a rigged game.
But there’s hope: I’ll break down how to redefine “afford,” dodge lifestyle creep, and build real wealth.
Stop chasing a life you can’t afford. Opt out of the scam so you can escape the debt trap and learn to live richly… not expensively.
