Tractor Travel.
 
I've hitched lifts on local tractors.

I've meet a group travelling across Australia on Chamberland Tractors, think they were doing around 20km/h


But

An interesting choice to ride!
 
There was a guy who rode a riding lawnmower from, I believe, the state of Kansas in the U.S. to Texas as his truck broke down and it was the only transportation he had. I guess he would be easy to find if he rode in the grass. He was in his seventies.

The lawnmower:
'The Straight Story' a moving picture by David Lynch based on a true story.

Another interesting choice of transport:
A Segway! 10 MPH }{ Segway roadtrip across America }{ A Documentary Film

Here's another tractor journey

I also remember (but can't find a link to) a British Guy Driving an old tractor (Massey Ferguson 35?) from the UK to Russia a couple of years ago.

It's all getting too common, so I have stopped prepping my old David Brown 950 tractor, and stuck it back in the barn. another unique idea thwarted !
Now where did I put my Pogo-stick.....
