My advice is ditch the second car, and get a second bike. Your present bike deserves to be left as is, and you deserve a second bike designed for your errands. Besides, just think of all the money you'll be saving by dumping one car.
While this certainly can be made to work, this is HIGHLY experimental (since it is a choice). Any time I have the car my wife will be stuck wherever she is.
- How would I go ride the Six Gap Century (on the off chance that I feel that my conditioning warrants that)
- I make a trip or two back home to Missouri to help my aging mother around the house - now I have to fly and rent a car
- I am on a couple of local boards and I don't control those meeting schedules. Maybe I don't want to show wet and I had not arranged for a ride..
VERY/VERY experimental and I certainly will accrue additional costs (but they are unlikely to be as much as the costs avoided)
