The eco-friendly way of shopping
Linda worries that I don’t get enough exercise in retirement when the weather keeps me off my bike. She wants me to walk. Walk. Imagine. So, I’ve hiked the mile or so over to the grocery a couple of times, but hiking or biking, you can’t bring home many groceries–Unless you live in Cambridge. –Corrie

SHOPPERS at a Cambridge supermarket are being asked to saddle up for a new green initiative.
Waitrose in Hauxton Road, Trumpington, has teamed up with the city council to provide special trailers to allow cyclists to transport their shopping home using pedal power.
Shoppers will be able to fill up a trailer as they walk around the store and simply hitch it onto the back of their bikes when they have paid.
The free-of-charge trailer will then have to be returned within three days.
