A number of us at Rapid Transit also work (or have worked) for Time Out Chicago, delivering over a ton of magazines collectively by bike(with trailers) every week.

Thanks, Nick. I'm sure there a lot of people out there who have carried improbable loads quite creatively. I'd love to hear about them. Anyone else?

I have a photo, somewhere, of a guy with a 9-foot kayak on the back of his bike, riding through Mathews County, Va. If I can find it I'll scan it in & send it.
