Like the idea of mixing up with different bikes, occasionally I ride the tandem. Which has it's own dangers.
Even had time to kill in central London yesterday and tried to do a few laps of regents park, and discovered that the mix of the dark and stupid cyclists meant I ended up get to my destination early. Even managed to get clipped by motorists that were overtaking me to 'pull in' to get round cars turning right. One Jewish chap was very apologetic and I just asked why he pulled in on me and said he just didn't see me. The other just carried on going. Both on the same stretch of road from Regents park to swiss cottage.
But for a bit I have a two stroke supermoto to use and is a bike I have to wear padded shorts under clothes as the seat is for the mono buttocked. Find that the motorbike helps sharpen up my senses, look at the whole road and not just what is going on infront.
People do hire cargo bikes and they can be quite fun to ride.
