• mountain bike frame I was bringing to a LBS across from where I worked downtown. They were gonna switch parts from my current and dying ride to the newer one. I wasn't very mechanical at the time. I strapped it to my messenger bag and rode in from the burbs to downtown which is a good hour's ride.

• a coat and hat rack that I found in the trash on the way home.

• big boxes that were ackward to carry and too big to fit in my bag. Had to carry them by resting them on my bars and top tube/arms. Didn't know why they didn't send a car for the pick up.
