LOL - VERY loud!
I have to confess, this is particularly funny to me right now because just yesterday, I attached a BOB trailer to my bike. So, yes, it DOES have it's own wheels.
It's attached to my mountain bike which is what I've been riding, due to the snowy, icy, and sloppy conditions. I've never used a trailer before and am trying it out to see if I prefer it or panniers for loaded traveling. I don't intend to ride with it all the time! Cute tho' BOB might be, I like my solitude.

Seriously, tho', when I ride my road bike, I do carry all that stuff I mentioned, and more. I have an under-the-seat bag on my bike and a fanny pak that I wear. I know lots of people who can't stand the fanny pak hanging on them, but somehow, it doesn't bother me at all. I just like to have my stuff when I want my stuff. Lots of time, I don't touch it. But when I do, I am glad to have it. I started out biking as a minimalist - the less, the better. Less weight, you know. As the years have gone by, I've found it doesn't matter all that much. Unless I am racing (and that is less and less) I carry what I want and the weight bedamned! Each to their own - I truly believe that.
