I've heard of a few pontoon bikes in London over the years, though not often. I could have had a go on one about fifteen years ago but couldn't make it in the end, which I still regret. They are reportedly a lot of fun to ride.
I was prompted to start this thread by this article:
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/man-on-floating-bicycle-plucks-350kg-of-rubbish-from-the-thames-in-one-year-a3901251.html
I can't imagine that's very efficient, but how else would one do it (perish the thought of not chucking rubbish in the Thames in the first place)?
(I found one older related thread, on a Monster Raving Loony Party 'proposal' for more commuting by floating bike:
