I dunno about that.  I hadn't been doing the school run for a while
until last week; I dropped the wee one off and rode on to work - I
think I'd gone about 10 miles before I noticed this orange thing
tailgating me very closely (note to self: drink more coffee in the
morning)

But even with an urban MTB, something like a Toppeak MTX beam rack is a
useful permanent fixture, at least it makes a good mounting point for a
rear light.
