<BR>No, the bike doesn't go with me in the car,though it actually would fit in the cargo compartment. I'm not a college tech(though that may change soon). I've been a rather serious cyclist for years. On days I ride to jobs, I leave the car at home. I take everything with me in the kiddie trailer, but I don't bring it into the house unless needed. When I first went into biz, it was easy: all of my tools fit into a medium sized tackle box, which easily sat on my bike rack. Then I found out that I could make alot more money if I was prepared for every situation. Then I started imagining situations where I could use more and more tools. Then I got infatuated with tools....well, you all know the rest, or you wouldn't be on this list.
