Bike Jousting

I found out today that I can ride my bike while carrying a 12 foot step ladder in one hand. Things go okay until stopping is concerned or bumps. Carrying a 6 foot ladder is much easier and doesn't cause as much wobbling. While transporting the 12 foot ladder and man on the sidewalk gave me a funny look. "Its Bike Jousting" was my only reply. I don't think he thought it very funny. Oh well, I did.
