Two people. One bike. How to do it?

I can't see the pic's either, but I spent summers in Germany as a deliquent youth and we usually hauled friends around on the package carrier's on the back of our bikes. Even one cheesy folding bikes (one of which I broke the back of with repeated bunny hopping). Nothing special about those bikes, and nothing safe or legal about it either. I'm sure we had police yell at us about it, but since we we're rolling and they were (usually) walking, there wasn't much they could do to stop it. I can still remember how the bike squirmed with the extra weight - the package carrier bending left and right, the overloaded tire squirming under the load..

Side-saddle style.. regular bike, note the nearly flat rear tire.
