I just found out
I can ride my beach cruiser with the front wheel backwards, so that the North Bars are, well, pointed South. In other words, I can turn the wheel around 180 degrees and ride the bike.
There is nothing practical in this knowledge, but I did find it fascinating! I should probably have taken this to the Digital Gee sub-forum. Sorry!

If you can do a good wheel stand you can spin the thing around while you're riding. We want video of that!!

I would be perfectly happy to have the bars backward if I could just get out and ride.
Would a pedal boat be a viable option this year?
