Earlier this spring I bought a 1987 Chevy Suburban for hauling bikes and shop equipment. But sometimes you need more space than even a 1980s Suburban can provide. So now, thanks to Athens Bicycle alum Joey Boyle, we have a second story on the vehicle. Click here to meet Strawberry, my new hauling machine. Keep an eye out for this friendly mule, you never know where you might see it.
