Subject: Jelly Bean in Jar Problem, with Snapple
How many 12-packs (20 pounds each) of Snapple Diet Peach can this
bike + trailer carry comfortably?

http://home.att.net/~rhhardin4/odyssy9.jpg

Snapple was on sale for $4.99 a pack, and eight of them fit in pretty
easily. 1 in basket, 2 on luggage rack, 5 in trailer.

I did have to drink 3 bottles when I got home, though. That counts
as shrinkage.

practical looking? Really? why not a traditional double diamond,
instead it has 3 sets of rear stays and an oversided downtube to make
up for the fact that the top tube doesn't come all the way to the head
tube.

With or without the dog?

I rate the trailer as neat-looking, the bike as practical looking, and
the photo framing as terrible.

The dog wins,

Give me 20 minutes with Photoshop, and I could turn that shot into a
masterpiece. But, why not drink the "shrinkage" at the start of the trip,
and gain room for three more bottles?
