As noted in the TOTT thread, something like this can be very helpful in the event a 'tall' cache is planned, or just encountered.  Granted, it's not going to be very much fun on a bicycle, but it's VERY compact if driving, all thing considered.  The come in a couple of sizes, but the 10' version works for most things, and collapses down to 31 inches for storage in the cachemobile.  They usually run about 20 pounds or a little more.
