Largely unrelated to the thread, but when I was a kid (13 or 14), me and a buddy rode halfway across town on the back of an ice cream truck. This was before everyone and their mother had a cellphone of course,and thankfully most of the other drivers saw us for what we were (a couple kids having fun on a slow moving vehicle...all fun and games, right?) We only made it maybe 5 blocks before some cranky old lady dimed us out (she yelled at us, the driver slowed thinking she was trying to get his attention, and we hopped off and booked it). Still; hunkered down on a bumper and clinging to the rear handle of an ice cream truck was my first introdution to alternative travel...May the hobo god bless this entire thread. It brings back memories <3 haha
