I don't mind what people ask me to transport, so long as I can carry it. As I mentioned, I think, outside of London the successful "bicycle delivery services" all cater for larger loads as well as mail and small parcels. And why not? It's the next logical step really.
> Having a long bike won't mean I have to use it, though - in fact I would only start taking it out if/when I need it. If I was using a trailer I'd have to go back and pick it up or drop it off when I did or didn't want, and so I could swap bikes just as easily, anyway.
