Bike Hugger 

The best part is that he lives at the top of a 15% grade hill.  Tom, how did you do that without a stokemonkey?

The key to garage sale-ing by Xtracycle is to start at the top of the hill and work your way down hill. Honestly though, that bike case didn’t weigh nearly as much as my daughter Veronica (45 lbs.) and I haul her up the hill all the time. The guy who sold me the case asked if I was going to come back later with a car to pick it up. I looked him in the eye and asked “why would I do that?” and proceeded to load it and Veronica onto the Xtracycle.

you could take that further and have a bike in the Serfas to unload, assemble, and ride at a group ride or something
