Exactly what I was trying to get at... but your example is better. I suppose it's not a really big deal, but interesting how it shapes what you do. I know there are many workarounds... although I must confess not too convinced about heavy loads on my trailer. (I just carried about 40 pounds of books to the library as a donation.... I'm not that interested in schlepping any more weight than that..)
I suppose if cars weren't so ubiquitous we'd have all kinds of ways to move things. Delivery vans all over the place.
