I do this. (I know you're probably kidding.)

I live out in the suburbs and when I go hang out with all my buddies that moved a hop and skip away from anything interesting, I bring my bike on my rack. Sometimes two if we have osmoen that wants to come riding with us but doesn't have a bike. I wish I could just ride anywhere but since the trip out to the stomping grounds is in excess of 25 miles, it just wouldn't make sense.
