A friend of mine told me that he once saw someone carrying a magnet for riding. I've never seen or heard of anyone doing it. However, I've looked online and you can buy magnets that hold like 200 lbs that are rechargeable or permanent magnets, and they only weigh like 1 or 2 lbs. Seems to me like they could be useful for getting over trains in the yard, but they don't look like they would be super useful for catching on the fly or anything. Maybe they would be useful for keeping a tarp up or something when your riding.
sparked my curiosity though, and i searched the forums and couldn't find much.
