The guy laughed hysterically and yelled, "A BOB!" I continued on my bike trip to the LBS. I picked up my Delta bike rack and headed back home. On the way back, I noticed a man in a store parking lot with his car hood open. He appeared to be having engine trouble and another man was helping him fix the problem. The man glanced up at me. He stared at my BOB trailer and bike with an expression of bewilderment as I rolled on by. I couldn't help but laugh (on the inside of course). Apparently, I was the strange one! I have even been called a "nutcase" on this forum over the fact that I have not owned a car for 3 years. Oh well! I still refuse to own a car unless it becomes absolutely necessary.
Well if that makes you a nut case then what does that make me.
Let's see here. I moved out when I was 17 and got my license a few months before i truend 23. I never bothered to hook up a trailer to my bike however. That would be "too weird" for me.
