The Penguin and Clutches... Bad Mix.

[zscoundrel]

Mine is pretty close to that!  The bike itself is 20 years old bought 
second hand from a friend.  I use it as the tractor to pull the trailer 
for my kids to ride in when we go riding.  Toss in another twenty pounds 
for water, the emergency tool set and those ever-present favorite toys 
that must go absolutely everywhere that the kids go. . .

Bike 
	 40
trailer 
	 50
Kid #1		 38
Kid #2		 35
Me 
	175 (the bike riding IS starting to pay off!!!)
---------------------
Total 
	338

I figure the 5 mile round trip to daycare burns as many calories as 
backing up that 200 gig hard drive to 3.5 inch floppies!  (That includes 
carrying them into the house from the car!)

Now the bike I ride when the kids are at school weighs 22 pounds, so it 
is less than 200 pounds with me on it!
