htay no baccy = tobaccy= tobacco.
Giving your mate a lift is a backie. full stop.I don't smoke and you can use as much punctuation as you want but I'm not calling it a 'backie' - it sounds like something from Brokeback Mountain..
Dink is mentioned here (along with loads of other tasty meanings!):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dink#SlangI'm sure 'backie' is in urbandictionary, etc. but it's either down or blocked here.

I once saw three full-grown adult males on a single bicycle in Osaka, Japan. One on the seat, one sitting behind him on the rack, and one standing on the rack behind that with his arms on the shoulders of the driver.
I was impressed. I wouldn't try it myself, mind.

I saw that kind of thing in da Netherlands a lot. Only with 3 females though (no, it wasn't a dream!) and the 3rd chick would be sitting sideways on the rack!

Is this a good way to make friends - "Alright love, wanna lift?" or perhaps increase the effectiveness of winter training?
If I had a 36 spoke wheel I would either buy these / search in my local tip for months.
10 GN buy it now -
