    Those are great, thanks! I've thought a couple of times about taking the bus to the next town (don't have too many occasions for it, but just in case), but partly I was afraid of looking stupid with the bike rack

    I had a lot of trouble the first time i used a bus bike rack (two good natured college students helped me get my bike on the rack!!!!) I even strained my wrist.

    But now I'm an old hand at it here's my bike with something cute stuck on it...

    Note Mimi's lovely demo of how you put a bike with fenders on the rack:
    the arm goes on the TIRE, not on the fender. Part of what the arm does is lock the wheel, and it can do the job best while contacting the tire itself.

    (did that cutie come with the bike, Mimi? )
