Unusual modes of transport you have used.

[newme]

Bounce boots or whatever they are called.

You can take chickens on the bus here tbf. I asked recently because I might need to soon.

If you put them in a hessian bag, they go to sleep. Or at least the ones I've seen on busses have...

 

[jontz01]

This is the bike I go out for a friday night slow ride on. Few lights, some tunes etc.

The other two are Surly big dummy cargo bikes. They grey one is mine, the green one belongs to a friend. I use it all day every day and will only use the car if it's absolutely necessary. Can fit a weeks worth of shopping on it if I use a trailer too.

Anyone been carried in a litter/palanquin/sedan chair?
Or just a stretcher?

 

[Voley]

Has anyone been fired from a cannon?

 

[Silas Loom]

Or fired by a canon? We have at least three defrocked vicars here.

 

[xenon]

Perhaps some IT professionals who've had their contracts terminated by Cannon too.

and further to previous, i have remembered that i have travelled on a milk float - must have been not that long after mum-tat broke her leg when i was about 6, milkman saw that she was struggling walking back from the nearest shops and gave us a lift up the road

made me remember - i was picked up by a Fuller's horse drawn carriage in fulham when I missed a bus - 'want a lift mate? hop on!'

I maintain that since they started diversifying from cameras they are now fanfic rather than Canon.

Did the printers and scanners come first though? It's not a black and white issue...

I'm quite often carried around by bigger people who think it's amusing to just get up and walk about like they haven't noticed me hanging off them.

Not travelled by wheelbarrow myself that I can remember but I have moved a calf in one of those enormous and horrifyingly expensive giant wheelbarrows that lots of farms have. Never had the chance to travel by cow or oxcart but I know people who have and it's a goal for next time I'm working with kye.

Or fired by a canon? We have at least three defrocked vicars here.

I was present when my mum's church managed to misplace either a bishop or an archdeacon, I think, if that helps? There was a boat involved somehow too iirc due to flooding in the area at the time.

This has just reminded me of the story someone I know tells, about the time he went to pick up a load of chickens and somehow the seller convinced him they didn't need crating and they'd be fine loose in the back of the van because the motion would send them to sleep as soon as he started driving. It worked fine until he hit a traffic jam and suddenly... [waking up chicken noises] and then they all started climbing through to the front of the van because it wasn't fully closed off, and he's sat in gridlock on a motorway somewhere with everyone in the cars around him either staring in astonishment or pissing themselves laughing, while he's just wondering how the fuck he's going to drive when he can barely see the windscreen for chickens

I jumped out of plane strapped to an Australian man.
Also jumped off a bridge with an elastic cord round my ankles.

I used to see people being carried around in sedan chairs in Bath, there was a thing for them in the 80s/90s, I don't think they still do it.
