When did you last give someone a Backie?

That is, a lift on your bike, to avoid confusion & innuendo

Me? Probably about 50 years ago when I was still at school.

Crog on the back of a raleigh bomber, down to the chippy with half a dozen kia-ora bottles filched from round the back of the offie to hand in for the deposits.
1985.

Probably when I was about 14.

Saddle or crossie. Giving a girl either at 14 was heaven on earth.

Last week, gave my son a lift home from Beavers. He was on the rack, so I don’t call it a true backie.

Miss Goodbody reports that she had a backie from the verger just the other day, but says she's a bit saddle-sore, and won't be doing it again for a while.
