Which is?....

I'm looking for ideas.

My green GB Rob Roy ended up being a bad weather commuter, complete with fenders, rack, lights...the whole works. It was a great all-purpose bike, except for the lack of gears, which was a handicap when fully loaded down and/or pulling the kiddie trailer. I just got a Surly Long Haul Trucker, which has supplanted the Rob Roy for those functions. So I have since stripped it down to its bare essentials and am thinking about how I might use it. I probably will put some fenders back on it, gear it down a bit, and use for recreational rain riding and pull the kiddie trailer on rail trails.
