Shopping with a Bike-Hod trailer

A Bike-Hod is the ideal trailer for shopping at your local supermarket. It can even be easier than shopping by car - especially if your supermarket has a self-scanning service.

Self-scanning means that you can wheel your Bike-Hod around the supermarket, scanning your shopping as you put it into the spacious bag. You pay at the automatic checkout, and simply hitch up your Bike-Hod and ride home. The next time you touch your shopping is when you unload it in your kitchen!

Compare that to shopping by car, where you can handle your purchases up to five times - no wonder a Bike-Hod is actually less effort!
