That is exactly what I say to my DH when he suggested I pull my BOB trailer with my Ruby. You don't hook the cart up to the thoroughbred! You use the dependable LHT for that.

I second the backpack idea. I use one for my daily commutes. If you carry one everyday you do strenghten up your back. I can carry a pretty heavy load all day with a minimum amount of back pain. bikerHen
