Seems a little lame but I can buy a much nicer house outside of town. I’d lose the ability to throw the kids on the back and head out.

Does anyone do this? Throw the bike in the back, then unload it when the parking is still easy, and then head to town. How does this work out for you? Does the trouble to load and unload 65 lbs of bike mean you just use it less?

I realize I’d need a longer and stronger rack for the car.

Seems silly to let something so expensive be influenced by a relatively inexpensive seasonal toy. But here we are.
