Back in the day I remember what was called skitching, although no bike was involved. It was holding onto the bumper of a school bus with both hands and bending your knees as to be in a sitting postion when the roads had snow on them or a wet surface and the buss would pull you along with both feet planted firmly flat on the ground. Several kids at a time would latch on, that was back when you could have fun at school. Skitching, havn't heard the word in years, ah the memories....
