Most of my work consists of shop work.
It's compact work and for a long time I was doing it on foot.
For various reasons I decided to start doing the round using a bicycle with an advertising board (advertising my business) and a trailer behind it. (In the trailer I have spare cloths, spare rubber and cutters, cleaning solution, various sSwear word!ers and squeegee sizes, oilflo and white nylon pad, invoice books, place to put sweater if get too hot, etc. etc.
The bucket sits on top of the trailer in a tray and my extension pole goes through the bucket handle with a clip to hold it in place.
I'll try and post a pic. one of these days.
The point is: It's a bit different, out of the norm. - The customers love it and the general public too. It gets people talking. There's probably also a few that think I'm a nutter but I can tell you that it is the best advertising I've ever had.
I still have the van but its parked up where there's free parking, out comes the bike and trailer and I'm off. No more worries about fines, less fuel costs, less time moving around, it's green and it's keeping me fit - wish I'd done it years ago.
