Hands-Free Shopping

Who doesn't look silly when carrying too many grocery bags in the city? As someone who will go pretty far out of the way for cheap, quality produce I've had my fair share of walks and bike rides that felt like I was setting off on the Oregon Trail.

When carrying delicious things a long distance, it's just impossible to fit it all in one bag and still have the weight distributed properly. I wanted to make a comfortable, portable, carrying aid that would also allow me to have at least one of my hands free. this would make my shopping trips less painful and potentially aid in doing so more frequently.
