That's my parents' fault! Actually, it's the Irish spelling, to comport with what my grandparents did to my dad (his name is Donnell (like O'Donnell (grandma's maiden name) with the O chopped off). My grandma's maiden name was, you guessed it, O'Brien.

Brien,

From one Irish to another, let 'em know that the rest of the world is spelling it wrong!

If you really dont want to ride it why not just rent a bike trailer from U-haul. Cost would be cheap compared to buying some ramps or a trailer. To me loading a bike into a truck bed seems like sure a pain compaired to a trailer. Just my 2 cents.

That's for sure, Mac! I'm sure you can imagine how many times I get asked about that spelling!
