Speaking of errands down town

YMBAEMI you take your bike and a trailer down town to do your errands.

Unfortunately the extra drag from the bike and trailer negated the fuel saved from not running around town. Just the rack does not seem to make much difference. If I had more stops to make and/or the drive into town was shorter this trick would pay off. Will still do it though as the physical activity is needed and there is access to decent riding trails.
