Or you can always bend the fork tips together and stick them down the boot of an inline skate. Or screw a length of 2x4 between the dropouts and then nail the 2x4 to a skateboard.
In case the intended humour isn't obvious enough - please note that while these suggestions are doable, after a fashion, they are by no means recommended for any kind of serious riding. For someone who'll willing to stand a tumble or two it might be a fun idea for a lazy afternoon spent on the driveway though.

Get one of those cool skateboard dudes - the ones with the back of their jeans hanging down to their knees - and put a fork leg in each of his back pockets. Then tell him to "give 'er" but not to fall. Pedal like mad.

find a small illegal immigrant. In exchange for your silence to INS, he will act as your front wheel, in effect turning your bicycle into a uni-cycle rickshaw. be sure to fashion yourself a whip to encourge your immigrant's speed.
