I wonder if these "Magic Trousers" work for cycling too?

Okay who wants to buddy up, to be honest I need someone a lot older than me or one that has a death wish cos I am worse than useless with the mileage or speed thing on a bicycle... so whoever partners up with me in this deal would be getting the short end of the wedge! Oh and you must have a scrotum - I don't have one of those as a general rule.

In order to make the magical trousers, the living man would have to strip the skin off of the corpse in one piece. The wearer of the pants then had to steal a coin from a widow and store it in the scrotum of the trousers next to a magical sign called a nábrókarstafur.

The coin was a “tool to gather wealth by supernatural means.”

The skin of the pants would then stick to the wearer’s own flesh. “They would immediately be stuck with your own flesh and be part of your body,” said a museum spokesman.

“People would be able to use them as long as they lived, but they would have to get rid of them before they die. If they would find someone to take them over they could last forever,” the spokesman said.

These are on display at Museum of Icelandic Sorcery & Witchcraft in Holmavik, Iceland. I figure that if it works for transferring magical powers, it is worth a shot at seeing if "good cycling leg power" can also be transferred!

Not me Puddles, my bikes aren't used to going that fast.

Talking of Iceland, many years ago I was at business school with an Icelander called Frosti. I think his parents must have had a sense of humour.

Was his surname Dasnoman
