What was the oddest item you carried on your bike?

[welsh dragon]

Years ago, an electric hedge trimmer in my rucksack, 6 miles from town.
Last Christmas, a large side of smoked salmon plus a leg of lamb, again poking out of my rucksack, for about 5 miles ... uphill
Today, a family sized pack of toilet paper hanging from the handlebars, only for about half a mile on traffic free paths

nice one

Dignity. But just once.

bottle of wine in downtube bottle cage…

Now why didn't I think of that?

1) Large wooden kitchen unit and it's door strapped onto the rack.

2) Bath panel length and width.

3) three cases of toilet tolls and two cases of kitchen rolls - we bulk buy from a local factory so they're cheap

My wife is pretty odd. Does that count? I "backered" her down the front street for 50yds until the screaming got the better of me

Do you nean backied? I think backered means something different!

+ 1 for the wine in a bottle holder also i used to make ramps out of my brother and a piece of wood. I carried the wood on the bike.

a lidl bicycle workstand (was the last one in the shop)

Reminds me of eating a snack in an Amsterdam cafe last summer as I watched a young woman attempt to load on her bike a dining room chair and a large picture frame which had been left at the roadside for the refuse lorry. She tried every way possible, upright and upside down round the 'bars etc etc.. I could almost feel her pain as it eventually became clear she was going to have to choose which item to take and which to leave behind. I swear there was a tear in her eye as she cycled off with the chair leaving the picture frame leaning against a lamp post.
If only I had had my bike that day I could have picked up the frame and followed her home, who knows what that might have led to, well a guy can dream.

A child's pop-up play tent carried backpack style. It didn't exactly pack down small so there was a good foot of it sticking out into the headwind on either side of my body.

a lidl bicycle workstand

Done that as well.

Five foot rear tractor tyre. Second one had been set alight by the time I got back for it.

 

[Saluki]

I had a 1/2cwt of pony nuts over my handlebars a few times. Feed merchant was only the other end of the road (about a mile). Silly to take the car.

 

[classic33]

Not on a bike but on a Brox. I've carried a three piece suite in one go for around half a mile uphill. Would that count?

 

[Justiffa]

My back pockets hv been known to be stuffed beyond capacity with all sorts of things, from tubes to whistles to golf balls to shushi lol…. but nothing odd ;p

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

If Classic's 3 piece suite counts, I'll claim the patio furniture set and the ITV cameraman.

The joys of having a Maximus trike.

I've carried a growbag on mine. If anything the bike was more stable.
