I have a bike rack(well, it belongs to a friend but he no longer owns a car) that I use when I am going between college and my parent's house(2.5 hour drive). Only other time i've ever used it was when I had to take my car(which i use once a month tops) back to the lot I keep it parked in(20 minute walk) and I didn't feel like walking back so i threw on my bike.
