The upside is that I don't have to do errands for the company in my personal car and gas which they don't always reimburse........wooohooo

The downside is that I can no longer jump on a great deal on Craiglist when I see a bike for sale. I have yet figure out how to get the bike home afterward.

Can you buy it and lock it near where you bought it and retrieve it later?

Is that a euphemism?

That's a good thought I've haven't look into yet. I van use my lock on my bike and lock it up in a safe resident area or a busy parking area and come back with my car. The only limiting factor will still be limiting to how far if a way I can travel by train (bart) and bus depending where the seller is and want to meet up at. However at least it is a possibility.

Mount one of these to a small slab of wood and bolt to your rack. Or, drill mounting holes in your rack and use wingnuts to mount.:
