Almost a hundred years ago, someone had the same sort of idea as that which was pictured in patw's "What Would I Need A Car For?" When I see how people dressed back then for recreation, I always get a laugh! More on the canoe side car:

New Sidecar is Adapted for Land and Water. While some of the latest amphibious motor cars are attracting considerable attention both here and abroad, a British company has developed a land-and-water sidecar attachment for the motorcycle which is also a curious innovation. The body of this is built along the same lines as a canoe, is secured to a very low chassis by means of four winged nuts, and may be quickly detached and used in the water. The framework is constructed of wood and provided with metal shields at each end, while the exterior is covered with stanch, waterproof canvas. It has sufficient room for two persons and when used as a canoe may be paddled with ease. While it is particularly convenient for the cyclist who uses his machine on shooting trips, it is equally well adapted for pleasure purposes. – Popular Mechanics. Feb. 1916. "Grand bateau!" ;-)

Yes, Pat. It does seem like there's potential for disaster, but that was the American spirit back then: natty attire and the open road!

Grand bateau, indeed! :-D Four winged nuts, huh. Wonder how many miles before one or all of them rattled loose given the state of roads at that time. Heck, now! They'd also both be drench on a foul day before the canoe ever hit the river. Fun puzzle!
