FTR, and given that the Genesis has a Tubus lightweight rack, the carrying was arranged by a butcher's S hook over the rack and under the bike, near the cog of the folder, strapped and bound to the rack with the nylon straps as shown.

Is there an "I carried this bike on my bike" thread ?  ;D

...

You're in the correct thread.

FTFY, I will not take credit for the Pikes craziness when I only took the photo of a tandem and trailer where the trailer had two mountain bikes in it.

I couldn't be bothered detailing exactly who had posted photos of who cycling and carrying who's bicycle(s).  I'm sure various variations exist, so I just put the name of whoever's post it was.  I like the simple life. ;D
Actually, it is rocket science.

No photos as it was 17 years ago. But I once cycled wearing my full scuba gear, as it was easier than trying to strap it to the rack. Half way home I got stuck behind a bus, lucky I had a clean air supply to use... you do get some mighty weird looks doing so tho...

A quick google reveals that scuba-cycling is a genuine thing:

What's weird is that so is pretend scuba-cycling:

When not on tandeming duty our new Helios has turned out to be pretty practical.

The cargo rack is handy for making a trip to the cleaners with the suits too.

Palinurus - That "look" promises retribution, oh yes it does.

Even if you would tell us otherwise, and puss is perfectly happy with the ride.

Got a new vacuum cleaner. This is the first time I've used the rear rack!

He wasn't very happy, but he just gives me an arsey look for a long while and I don't generally get injured. I usually carry him by hand and walk (it's not far, plus it's a nice walk- through the park)

For cycling this works better than the BoB trailer:

Did I post this, from the Comic years ago, previously? I have the same trailer, so I tried it once, although I preferred to remove the wheels and put them on wheel carriers:

part of the frame for a fruit cage.  I had to turn my right foot inwards to reach the pedal and the top of the frame kind of rested against my face.  This bike (which belonged to my father-in-law's step father) is ace for carrying stuff locally.  Glad I added a three speed when I replaced the back wheel (good call Brucey).  The thing is heavy.

Too quick to get a photo, but a guy just went past on a fully milk-crated bicycle, with a granny-trolly bodged up as a trailer and a folding step-ladder sticking out of the top of his rucksack.
