I have my own entry to throw in the barrel: Nocturnal Fixie Dog-Joring.
Don’t try this at home, but as of late I’ve been riding my single-speed
fixie bike hooked to my dog (dog-joring) at night. Quite a ride, as
Rodney the 90-pound Weimaraner can gallop at 20mph for almost two miles
dead straight. I let my legs spin on the fixed cranks, trundling down
deserted city streets near my house, following a halo of LED
illumination cast from my handlebar light. Will have to get an image
and post it to the Toad page. See if I can win. . .
