New member, Tejo, was cycling past ALoT when he saw our brand new electric wood chipper arriving at the library. He became a member, then went to get his cargo bike. After loading the chipper onto his bike, he decided he also needed the long pole pruner, and happily loaded that on his bike too! 🚲🇳🇿
