NEWS FLASH!!
If you are a regular user of our Grocery Getters then you know well how much of a contribution you have been making to keeping plastic bags in particular and packaging in general-out of the landfill.
It's noticeable after a while that all those dreaded plastic bags just are not around your house anymore and I am sure the few that are get used as many times as possible. But it's best to stop using them at all.
Using the GG eliminates most plastic bags and finally moves are now underway to ban plastic bags by stores, and municipalities and even Countries.
So Users of the GG's, the world is trying to catch up with your good manners and foresight-but they still have a way to go all the while they use their polluting vehicles for shopping.
It's faster by bike and trailer often, but inside the store is where more gains are possible by self scanning, using hand held scanners obviates the need to take the stuff out of the tote at the check-out for scanning and then having to put it back in again.
That's great but imagine when the IR scanners come into use that will scan through the totes- a real timesaver!
We have developed a cart that will help the motorists get greener-watch this space for details-prototypes are already in test programs at major chains.
Our grocery-getter models range from the Standard (D) model, to the Portable (KD) and Heavy-Duty (W) models. All of these models have convenient features like a foam-padded handgrip for easy pulling around your local supermarket. And yes, they all fit through the grocery checkout aisles.
"Tony's Trailers in Canada make the most versatile goods trailers of them all, and the prices are so reasonable that they can be well within your target even after coming from Canada... Every review I've seen on this company and its products has been excellent."from http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/
" LIVING IN Britain just after the Second World War, when shortages abounded, entrepreneur Tony Hoar had to be inventive. When he couldn't find a bike trailer to haul his camping gear, he built one. He's since relocated to Vancouver Island, where, among other things, he built the wheelchair Rick Hansen propelled around the world. For those of us not contemplating a global marathon, Hoar also makes the ingenious Grocery Getter ($350 and up), a bike trailer designed for supermarket trips. When you get to the store, just unhook it from your seat post, trundle it down the aisles (it fits through checkout lanes), then hook it back onto your bike. Hoar designs other kinds of trailers, including ones pulled by sled dogs. " - Laura Byrne Paquet
