I know it is possible, but I would rather not haul feed sacks on any kind of bicycle on my local roads. It may work on level roads, but not here.
Our roads are heavily traveled, 2 lane mountain roads, have 55 mph speed limits, along with tourists (who can't drive) and trucks. It just not my idea of a safe ride on any day. Plus it is 10 miles to the town. (Cars are not even safe, I had a deer jump in front of my car twice here, for $$$$ repair costs.)
My solution is to combine my trips, and only go into town once or twice a week, as necessary. And avoid wildlife.

@c_merriweather @blogdiva Yep! Safe route makes all the difference. I was doing that in hilly Seattle (8mi round trip), but there were plenty of safe residential streets to ride on. Wouldn't do it on highways/stroads.
