What's the strangest thing you have carried on your bike?

[Night Train]

Rear tyre of a Massey Ferguson 65. 3 miles with the last half mile off road

Riding 65.3 miles would be something but to do it carrying a tractor tyre!

 

[TheDoctor]

144 bottles of French lager, 6 bottles of Cotes du Rhone and some Brie.
The handling was somewhat compromised.

Was that being carried or was that what you'd drunk?

Heh-heh. I can't quite manage 63 pints and six bottles. Not without being copiously, spectacularly, and permanently unwell. Front and rear racks on an MTB, 3 crates of lager on each one - one on each side and one on top. Wine and cheese bungied onto the rear rack. and tyres taken up to 100 psi rather than the usual 40. I really, really would not advise this...

Wow Me and a friend would often grab some cans at the end of a bike ride and end up carrying like 50 cans between us because of tescos multibuys, then we got big bike bags and ended up just buying twice as much, but never close to your achievement, must up my game!

Great effort, you deserve a drink

No thats a rear tyre of a MF65 carried for 3 miles. Not carried for 65.3 miles!
I'm not that good, nor mad, especially with the last part off-road.

Depends if you were wearing the skis at the time...

 

[classic33]

Whilst not carried on a bike. What about a set of working traffic lights, carried upright on the rear of the Brox. Lights on a permanent Red.

 

[dellzeqq]

a drafting chair. The full pump-up five castor jobby. On the back of a Brompton, of course. And then there was the sixty nine club shirts.

Mind you.........I'll never equal this....

 

[TheDoctor]

I intend to try that!!^^^

A bundle of 8 ft tree saplings tied along the top tube.

Had to cycle with legs akimbo like a circus clown to avoid lacerated thighs.

A tesco basket. I brought it, i did not steal it. And a umbrella for the head only now, brought it today. lools

If it was on your head, I'd say you couldn't really count it as carrying on the bike.
