When someone asks me to help them move, i often say yes, but secretly think "ugh...moving sucks!"... when there's an opportunity to help bike move, i try to attend and it actually makes me happy.
And your efforts were GREATLY appreciated - thanks!
I think Aaron actually had the heaviest load, but I could be wrong. And I forgot Tom had the 2 bins full of stuff, so his was probably significantly heavier than yours. 250-300 lbs, maybe. (again, I'm mostly guessing here)
I've never been to a bike move yet where I regretted going, or didn't have fun. I don't think I've been to more than one truck move that I found "fun".
