Riding Backwards

Has anyone mastered the fine art of riding a bicycle backwards? I saw some guy doing this while driving down the road... He was sitting on the handlebars facing the seat and pedaling. If you mounted a seat to your handlebars and had two extra wheels you could make a weird vehicle indeed...

Did it when I was kid. The crash recovery time is a bit long now. I think I will just think back to when I could do it and not try it now.

You have to go up in order to come down. Why is the up part always so steep?
