BOB is a one-wheeled trailer you can haul behind your bicycle.

I was asking a price on a bike. Seemed excessive. I asked why so much. The guy said he was told by some "BOB" at the other shop.

Oh, I could have soooo much fun with this. Unfortunately, most of my suggestions would likely result in accruing points or possibly even banishment.

A BOB trailer or Bridgestone Owners Bunch is what springs to mind for me:

Bike or Bong?
Big Ol Burrito?
Could be just plain old "Bob", if "Bob" is the owner/sales manager...

Yep. A specific brand of trailer, not just any bicycle trailer.
