4. Ride with knobby tires
5. Ride with studded tires
6. Put your seat really really low
7. Just take the seat off and stand the whole ride
8. Put on some ape-hanger bars off an old Stingray
9. Fixed-gear conversion (okay, this might not freak people out)
10. Get a bike trailer (only $70 at Target) and tow it. Put a cooler of cold drinks in it, and you'll be the toast of the group!
