Cycling Achievements Thread!

I'm a big gamer - and it's always nice to get the little "achievements" when you kill 100 zombies or whatever it is. Recently, I've been applying the same reward system to biking for my own amusement.

Some of these achievements can and should be attempted, others are little things that happen to you by chance, some are just for fun, and some SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMPTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE

Here's some of the ones I've been throwing around in my head...Feel free to add to the list, be creative and have fun with it!
