Bobs are great. I used to use mine for commuting to work, towing groceries home, even transmission parts when mine blew up-and cars seemed to give me the slightest bit extra berth, especially when I'd use the stupid flag. My husband uses bob to carry the chainsaw and/or tools around for trail maintenance.

One thing is sure-bob is a heck of a lot easier to haul behind you than a kid trailer!! I'll be so happy to swap back to the bob-or even better-RIDE NAKED!
You know, without anything attached to my bike besides myself...

My pack is pretty boring-tube, flat kit, tire levers, co2 cartridges and thingy, chapstick, multi-tool, chain tool, some money.
