Messengers with unwieldy packages...
Seen yesterday in NYC:
Older messenger type with hair dyed screaming yellow, beard dyed crimson red. Guy is riding along left hand holding the bars, the right hand holding a 19" flat screen monitor in a box, balancing it on the handlebars.
I'd bet that monitor didn't survive it's trip.

19" flat panel LCD should either fit in your bag, or get strapped to a front rack like a racing number, braced against the bars (that's how I carry frozen pizzas.)

In any case, the most unwieldy thing I've seen recently was a lady with a rather large tree in her mess bag on Lafayette St..

In Cairo we commonly see people carrying all kinds of unlikely loads on on bikes. Picture a man balancing a palette covered in chickens on his head and smoking a cigarette while weaving through the craziest rush hour traffic you ever saw. I'll post pictures when I can.
