    YES! But you’ll have trouble being as cute as Komorebi while doing it.

    I know what Strava art is, but what are Danger Pandas, Wigglebillies? Asking for a friend.

    In 2017 there was a Danger Panda Pointless Prize with an excellent description and lots of photos: http://bikearlingtonforum.com/showthread.php?11593-Danger-Panda-Pointless-Prize

    (note – this particular danger panda was taken in tribute to Pete Beers, shortly after his tragic death; hence the pink attire)

    Wigglebillies were created by Mr. Wigglebilly himself. They prove that the silliest distance between two points is a wiggled line. The steps to perform a wigglebilly are as follows:
    1. Choose a destination.
    2. Get on your bike.
    3. Turn as many times as possible
    4. Arrive at your destination

    Here’s an example of a wigglebilly stolen from the Strava of Mr. Wigglebilly himself:

    Couldn’t get a photo because I was too busy doing the stupid trick. We ride very well loaded Tern GSDs at work. A partner had his battery die. In order to get back to the office in a timely manner, and to help his fading legs, I pushed him from the White House up 15th St and the Ontario Rd hill to the WABA office with a broom stick. Made a SURPRISING difference to use my legs and e-assist when pushing him.

    This wasn’t me, but I wish I had thought of it.

    Pretty cool. Someday I’m going to learn that whole changing directions without moving the handlebars thing.

    Bonus award consideration for anyone that does a Danger Panda on the Pete Beers Memorial Bridge. Extra bonus points if you are wearing the Danger Panda t-shirt while you do it.

    I’ve always wondered if something like this would work. That’s a sucky climb when hauling gear even with the assist.

    My own stupid silly bike trick. The trailer is loaded with 400 pounds of equipment to remove bumps from the Mount Vernon Trail. There’s another 100 pounds in the bike bags. The trailer was already overweight so there’s six shovels strapped to the back of the bike.
