I've ridden home with a frame over my shoulder a couple of times, but a built up bike is easier to move by holding the stem with one hand and pushing it. I've taken a spare bike to a stranded friend/rescued a stranded bike a few times like that.
why learn to track stand when you've got a bike to lean on ;)

strapped to the back is actually easier than holding from the stem, escpesially on fixed as your cranks are always spinning.
ive had to strap two bikes to my back once, and a polo wheel. One of which was a hefty dutch bike. It got a little tricky through the corners but i got where i was going.
it's much easier now with a big messenger bag and plenty of straps.
It's harder still when two people are pushing one bike by having a hand each on the handlebars. I was fixed, my friend wasn't. All sorts of hilarious calamity ensued.

these estonians like to punish themselves. i think he cycles with barbed wire wrapped around the top of his thighs like the monk in the da vinci code.

I really did, not only that, I cycle 11 miles back home with that on my back (need to bring it home one way or another).
It's much easier than you think, all you have to do is behave exactly like a car, much to my surprise I didn't get hassled, not once.
Mate, that's quite dangerous, could easily whack another cyclist

It's not dangerous if you're careful, just behave exactly like a car and take the full lane of the road.

It obviously is dangerous - significantly more so than riding normally (not particularly telling you off or anything, I've done similar with a frame and wheels)

I was looking for a picture of the cyclist killer in Grosse Point Blank. Couldn't find it. Here's the bigger version. Not sure how you'd stop this bike.

Don't think I'd like to try a pedal-backward-no-hander-killshot. Not in khaki, anyway.

It's alright, regardless of the outcome you'd get the chicks because you'd be wearing khakis.

And white trainers with what looks like a chord jacket. Shop at GAP much?

No, it's a Baseketball reference. Nevermind.
