Among the several uses I have planned for my Big Dummy, is the role of tow bike. I tried it out today to retrieve one of my rental bikes. Works OK, but I think I'll be lowering the fork down mount just to get the CG down a bit.
I would not advise putting a rider on the seat.

I've often threatened to do the same for my LBS for their rental bikes (and any other stranded cyclists) on the O&E towpath. :beer:
