And got spoken to sternly by a cop for carrying a bow and arrow on public transport... Once a network gets going, it should be doable in the suburbs.

I also moved house by bicycle last year. Glad to find a kindred spirit(s). I didn't manage to move my mattress, though - for that I did use a car later (during an earlier move we took the mattress on a bus). I put a photo up on my webpage http://dark.dark-cosmology.dk/~tamarad/dayinlife/image.php?year=2007&month=4&day=1 , where you'll see that I didn't manage to muster up as much help as you... there were just three of us... but we managed to load ourselves well enough to do everything in one trip. I was living in Copenhagen at the time, and didn't really know anyone who had a car we could use easily. Thus the biking. Copenhagen was great for bikes. I lived there two years and probably got into a car no more than a dozen times. Nice work!!
