Back in the 90s a friend of mines dad donated a room full of new PCs for the pc lab (486 dx66) and some big monitors to our high school. My friend at the time thought that since he was the main one (voluntarily) tech supporting most of the PCs in the lab, and it being his dad who donated everything, that he could exchange a few things with his personal setup at home. Initially it was trading his 1MB RAM sticks for 4MB sticks. Near the end it was carrying home one of the those incredibly heavy Sony Trinitron 21" CRTs (the one with composite outputs) on his bike handlebars a few miles home down. I rode with him and kept thinking no way he'd make it... but he did, although there a few close calls stopping at traffic lights.
In the spirit of his (sadly passed away) adventurous self, a few years ago I carried home 2x 24" LCDs that i had lent my friend the week prior... on my unicycle, figuring my hands were free, why not carry something? The worst part was going up hills... thankfully there were no spills ;)
