Tow Cycle Hilarity

hey fellow advocates, was driving home this afternoon through the city area. Crossed an intersection and a bike shot out from the side and turned to join in the same direction as me. I saw him appear from nowhere and as I have a small ute (i.e. pickup) (Dodge D-50) I moved to one side of my lane, which left him about half a lane in case he needed it. Kept going and about 5o yards on I glimpsed in my rear view and he was hanging onto my tray (bed). I was only in third and doing about 10 mph. Didn't know if he knew that I knew he was there. So the guy kept hanging on to the bed of my pickup and I towed him about 4 blocks. I was acting like I had no idea in case a sheriff spotted us. Later I had to stop for a light and the dude scooted on past me darted across in front jumped onto the sidewalk. But as he went in front, he gave me the thumb-up. So I guess he knew I knew. It was a crazy way to end the day and I wonder what some people thought when they saw us as the street was crowded.
