Time to get yourself one of those bicycle baskets so you can haul home your finds. 
Cute narwhal!

I was out cycling today enjoying the sunny weather and found a neat gravel road to check out. I found this pretty little flint and marble along the road. Sadly, I didn't have any pockets large enough to carry them out with me  so I... WENT BACK, RIGHT?  |

When I was in college I borrowed a bicycle from a friend for a 5 mile trek to a local mine. This bike has a small racing seat and I picked up about 50# of rock and put them in my backpack. Needless to say when I got back I could hardly walk for a week. I learned "don't pick up rocks when cycling."

I was hoping to get back there today when it warms up. Right now it's still 31°... That's a bit chilly to enjoy cycling. I'm a whimp rmf is right. I've hauled pounds and pounds of rock out of the creeks while I'm cycling. It's really bad for your back if you're on a road bike. Ya know, looking at that picture I think I'm going to have to go get the Narwhal too lol |

You're absolutely right! I've seen some folks that go metal detecting use saddlebags on their bikes to haul their goodies. I thought it was pretty clever.
