Master  2264    Sunbury, Pennsylvania |  Subject: Need a novel way to move 5kThere is an upcoming "any way 5k" event near me. It invites any method of unmotorized travel to complete this noncompetitive event. I like one-off stuff like is, but I am not hitting on any creative methods. I don't unicycle or stilt walk. Any thoughts? I might involve the kids if we can figure out something neat. |

I'd imagine your thighs/quads would be TOAST after 5k. Rollerskis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_skiing? Or, what about using a mechanic's creeper and scooting there on your back (need a spotter!) Office chair? |

I have no idea how, but he clears logs, climbs, clears rock gardens, mud. Better than me with two wheels. He's unreal to watch. |

Master 2264 Sunbury, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Need a novel way to move 5k kbeddoes - 2013-02-20 9:25 AMFlintstones car I did just go paleo....... And that is the kind of thing I could make from my other hobby, large scale balloon twisting. So far this may be the one to beat. I would be just carrying it, the way. i'd make it. But I do plan to do a st pat's weekend 5k with the family where there is a costume contest. We'll be in giant balloon lephrechaun hats. I could make a name as that crazy balloon running guy. This is too much fun to be exercise. |
