I have been using my bike trailer at work. Trailer is a 2004 Bikes At Work, and I bought it new. It will haul 350lbs. "My" issued vehicle at work is a giant Chevy dually pickup truck that is totally overkill for much of what I do. And I can get around the park on a bike just as fast and get my tools all the way up to my project instead of park, walk, carry my tools and supplies. Obviously I work in a park. Here are a few pics:

We start placing Christmas holiday things around the park in August.


The event begins the week before Thanksgiving and concludes a few days after New Years Day. Then a couple months of taking everything down and storing it. Then maintenance, repairs, and construction of new features. It's a 12-month gig. State job. All the benefits. Including an easy one mile bike ride (or skate, or walk) to work from the house and the bonus of using my bike sometimes like the photos. "My" park vehicle is a giant Chevy duallie pickup truck. Like driving a skyscraper. I avoid it at all costs unless I need to tow a giant 4-wheel trailer with hundreds of pounds of stuff on it.

Must be an extensive display for that amount of work. Great that you live so close and can bike in and back. Sadly I worked 42 miles away from home.
