The last picture in the gallery is cheating. To transport a sofa
properly all you need to do is attach four caster wheels and tow it
behind a bicycle, preferably with a couple snogging on it.

There speaks the voice of experience, no doubt.

No doubt. I think that most teenage and adult men and women have
experienced snogging on a sofa. Far fewer while being towed behind a
bike, but I'm open to a new experience (with Clare of course) if you
are willing to tow us.

It would have to be off-road somewhere.

C&U Regulations, etc.

Are bicycles covered by those regulations?

I suppose we'd have to fit reflectors to the end of the sofa, and if
at night a rear light, but as far as I know that is the limit of the
regulations for towing with a push bike.

The last picture isn't a particularly overloaded vehicle, but it's a
fine example of how not to secure a load.

You'd think with their huge disposable incomes[1] and superior
intelligence[2], cyclists could arrange for their crap to be transported
safely by other means. Why do such clever[3] and wealthy[4] people take such
stupid risks of injury and death, to save a relatively tiny amount of money?

[3] take a wild guess
[4] yep, you get the idea
