What was the oddest item you carried on your bike?

[GuardTwin]

This happened in 2009 when I was 19, my friend ran out of petrol and yes it was freezing cold out and she was ill, her boss sent her home early from work and the reason she went to an empty tank was 1 week left till payday.

No one was at her home to help her and no one helped her out on the road and she does not know the area well so she called me up describing her route so i could pin point her. She was 15mins away walk from a petrol station but I had a full jerry can in my garage and I was able to fit it in my bag, it was a small one so it was easy to carry but the oddest thing I had to transport compared to a curry take away for a job. She was happy to see I had petrol and it was a great evening. (It took me 20mins to cycle up to her in heavy traffic during shopping rush around this month a week till christmas)

Brace of pheasants slung over my shoulder...they kept looking at me with their wee beady eyes and was very unnerving!! I must say, it was one of the best Christmas presents I've had from the kids at school!

Depends, do you cycle with one finger up your nose singing badly at jolly songs thinking you're awesome as f***k ? If so then YES ! lol

Bag of coal slung over the crossbar - but I did have to get off and walk that one.

Guitar on my back - but not at same time as the coal. (No I never learnt to actually play it)

Well a 6ft long piece of wood carved off of it, sits or lies should I say on the Sustrans route by Bardney bridge.

No trailer option in the poll?

I did move house on my bike some years ago (without a trailer) A heavy old telly on the rear pannier rack heading up the park on one of Sheffield's finest hills is the load I recall the most

Strangely baguettes sticking out my rucksack tend to attract attention. Bag of cat litter got a few headshakes. Then there was the axe last winter whilst in full black winter gear, balaclava and shades....it was sunny!

I thought my Rhubarb would have done well in the stakes but Badgers,Axes and Pheasants seem more interesting
