Row, row, row your bike
Last week, I saw a rowbike parked on a Berkeley sidewalk. It’s the first I knew of such a thing — a bike on which you keep your feet in one place and provide the power by rowing. Like a stationary rowing machine, except, um, not stationary.
Spotting an alternative human-powered vehicle parked on a Berkeley sidewalk isn’t so strange.
But in front of KC’s BBQ Pit wouldn’t have been my first guess for where I might do so (which says more about me than anything else.)
I've often been disappointed at the lack of upper-body exercise provided by walking and "conventional" biking. I wouldn't mind trying out one of those arm-powered bikes.
I also wouldn't mind trying out KC's BBQ pit. Now I'm disappointed that you never recommended it in all my visits to Berkeley. (-:

Makes sense to me. Eat a bunch of fatty ribs, go work it off, or at least make yourself feel better about it.
Mmmm, bbq.
