Are funicular railways really that unusual if we're counting doing them as a tourist thing?
Pedalo
Tractor
ATV - driving, sat on the back and riding behind in a trailer with various combinations of other people/dogs/sheep/farm equipment
Lying up in the top deck of a sheep float with a load of lambs
On top of a table that was hanging out the back of a car
My older brother's souped up goped petrol scooter
Lorry the other day felt unusual for me as a non-driver

had better add -
Solomon Andrews Horse-drawn Omibus (at Beamish - and we got off to walk up the hill ; the same event also had a three horse abreast set-up, but I didn't get on that one)
Falkirk Wheel boat lift
People mover [at Stourbridge] and both monorails at Gateshead Garden Festival in 1990.
Also drove the Locomotion No.1 replica whilst it was at Gateshead in 1990.
Really tiny Wallis roller [Grommit] - I think it was used for tarmac pavements.

Been on the Miami Metrorail thing - if that counts.

LU engineering train.
Public water bus in Venice.

Donkey (both riding one and in a cart pulled by a donkey. Oh have actually ridden in a horse-drawn trap as well now I think about it)
I would like to go on a steam train but haven't done so yet.

The torpoint one is also a chain one, but i gathered from my Google search that they are called cable ferries anyway. There's also one somewhere else in Devon which i've driven a car on to but can't quite remember where.

When i worked for the Bakerloo Line we took delivery of half a dozen mountain bikes that had been adapted so they could be ridden along the tube track. I'm sad now because i never actually got to try one out.
Oh and I've travelled on a sleeper train that was on a ferry, on my way to Palermo, Sicily.

Motorrail from Milan to Calais
Also a Motorrail from somewhere in south of France to Calais
Cool Stourbridge train thing
The Marlow Donkey (not a donkey)
Heathrow tunnels between 5A, B and C - this is walking but not many know about it
We took the hovercraft to France one year, on the way back it was really windy so they were cancelled. Think we had to wait ages to then get rebooked onto the ferry. Suspect that was a reason why they declined in popularity

But does everyone's brain go "Funiculi, Funicula" in full operatic mode whenever they think about it or read the word like mine does?
Actually I expect that's not uncommon, we all know what earworms are like

i might have done - there's a photo somewhere of my dad co-driving one with a stranger. i think it was on a short temporary bit of line, or a siding at a preserved railway or something. i can't remember when (other than it must have been over 30 years ago) or where.
