Heh, you should def. give it a go. The problem would be balance - you could literally bend over backwards, so that you had half your weight over each side of the bar. It would look as if you had got stuck whilst trying to do the high jump, Fosbury Flop style, over the bicycle frame; risky, because it might cause the tobacco to fall out of your pipe and into your face, which in turn would cause you to careen into a duck pond - extinguishing the pipe - or a haystack, which would undoubtedly be set alight. The safer, and more dignified alternative would be to attach a counterweight, a dummy of yourself perhaps, or an animal of the same weight. Of course, you could share your bicycle with a pipe-smoking, side-saddling friend. |
