    Might be able to figure out a way to pop the wheel off? Maybe on the Yahoo Group somebody might have an idea?

    Can you hold it vertically long enough for an elevator ride?

    Hadn't thought about taking the wheel off or holding it vertically, mostly because it was pretty heavily loaded. But I'll have to try both the next time...there's got to be a way!

    Yes, you have to take bikes on the elevator. It makes sense...they don't want a bike careening down the escalator into people.

    first commute!

    What fun! Tomorrow is my office's annual chili cookoff, so I rode the Xtracycle in to work today to take everything in (I'm the organizer). I bungeed a milk crate onto the skateboard top, so I could keep the cake pan flat, and loaded other stuff into the side bags.

    Here's what I hauled:

    crockpot
    gallon of chili, frozen
    blueberry coffee cake
    banana bread
    container of chocolate chip cookies
    box of saltines
    box of oatmeal
    Ortlieb pannier with my clothes, lunch etc
    pump and repair kit

    Here's what it looked like:
