I misread that as radioactive semen. I've got a dirty mind.

The strangest thing I've carried on my bike is a rake. Not really all that strange or unusual compared to what some people have carried.
How big was the rake though?
Carried a scythe, whilst dressed in black, through the town centre. No-one stopped me though.

Various fairly minor things, a rubber duck, a Nessie Hat, a pair of tyres slung over my shoulder, a large track pump in one hand, a book of all the Macromoth species in the UK, all 1200 of them or whatever it is.

All very inconsequential really.

I was in India recently and saw just about everything being carried on bikes. The only compromise that seemed to be made was that, if the load was too big, the rider would walk alongside, rather than ride. Rod brakes too.

An ice axe.
A pair of tyres for one of my standard-wheeled bikes, while I was riding my Brompton. That brought one or two 'witty' comments.

A few years ago I seen a cyclist riding whilst at the same time pushing another bike - ie. one person two bikes and all the wheels on the ground, he was doing a reasonable speed and it looked easy. Some months later I tried the exact same, it was far from easy and within half a mile, me and both bikes were all tangled up in the middle of the road - I didn't walk properly for several weeks[/quote]
I've done that twice, once while riding the mountain bike, the second time (and harder time despite the bike I was towing now having air in it's tyres) was by road bike
the bike being pushed was also a road bike.
I've had a kids bike on my rack.

I have to say I'm disappointed that people aren't more impressed by my herring gull. They are more than a little aggressive and I did rather well to make it home without losing an eye. It's not quite as good a canister of radioactive xenon or a cello, admittedly, but it's got to be worth a "like" or two...
