Willie in the house, not her natural habitat I assure you. |
I stood before the chook food contemplating just how far I was prepared to go with this. Would a 20kg bag be possible? Thankfully, having hauled 10kg home, I can now say in retrospect I’m glad I didn’t got beyond my limits. 20kg would have killed me.
How the hell overweight people cycle anywhere is beyond me. A extra 10kg of pork around the waist is easy to accumulate and yet I could barely get out of the pedals. On my first small hill I uttered audibly, “Oh bugger.” Hats off to all the fatties who ride.

BOGear Chunky Toad with 2 x 5kg poultry feed. |
The big main compartment of the Chunky Toad swallowed the 10kg of chook feed pretty easily. The bag sat comfortably on my back, though I did adjust the straps several times on the fly to distribute the load, letting weight off the shoulders and onto the hips. A word of warning though, if you’ve been consuming diuretics all morning (such as tea and coffee) the waist belt will press alarmingly on your bladder. Like an old man with a leaky prostate I snuck off to the first dunny I could find.
