Re: [NSVC] Van or trailer?

Van is good because you can sleep in the back.  Better
handling than truck & trailer and better gas mileage.
Also trailer is a pain in the ass in parking lots and
gas stations.  If you are going to transport this bike
an average of once every other month (6 times a year)
or more, I'd get the van.
