Riding the handlebars on your friend's bike

While it's hard to imagine, at one point in our lives we didn’t drive cars. Our only sources of transportation were our parents’ cars or bikes.

Some even decided to go retro and wear roller blades. Not scooters, though. No one likes scooters.

However, everyone had that one friend who never had a bike and ended up lagging behind because he’s not fast enough. So what did you do? You stopped the bike, told him to sit on the handlebars, held on and pedaled the hardest you ever had.

Riding your friend’s handlebars is what you did when your bike’s tire was flat and none of your friends’ bikes had pegs. It may be 2012, but instead of walking down the quarter mile, just hitch a ride on some handlebars. Of course, beware of falling over; riding down hills isn’t advisable. Any other time, though, just hold on, keep your stomach flexed and enjoy the ride.
