How to jump-start a car with a bicycle

From the Bike Warrior's blog:
I had some unusual fun with my bicycle a few months back when a friend, who knows I have a car, called begging me to get his girl friend a jump start of her Toyota.

They live not too far from me, and after I agreed I realized it would be simplest to use the compact jumpstarter battery with built-in mini jumper cables that I have on hand because my car, gathering dust while I bike everywhere, tends to need this jumpstarter therapy itself. The owner's manual for this 1994 Ford vehicle breezily suggests "you must run your new Ford at least every three days or the battery may run down..." and I often let the Ford rust in peace for more likely three WEEKS at a time.
