An amazing/amazingly stupid idea
Mounted archery, only on a fixie. While riding no-handed as fast as you can, shoot one arrow each at three stationary targets in rapid succession.

I'd say you could do either. You would, of course, get a lot more points for doing it in traffic.

I was fantasizing the other day of riding down this one road near me that is notorious for dogs swinging a ball and chain mace.

Thats a great idea! Similar to my idea of bike jousting. Full speed toward each other, if you fall, you lose.
Lets start a medieval bike-sport festival....

It's weird you say that, because it seems like the same things that attract people to fixed gear riding also seem to attract people to primitive archery. The same back-to-basics spirit pervades both hobbies so why not combine them? BTW, a bicycle rim is one of the best ways of curving a bow.
