I still ride trolleys round supermarkets
until a few months ago when my weight lifted the front wheels off the floor causing me to go face first into the 'pushing' bar on the front and cut my lip

I won't be doing that again in ahurry, I can tell you!

Try the Ikea trolleys
The ones that have the sprung base on them. We'd just bought a couple of dog beds and some big cushions, so I placed them on the trolley, ran down the aisle and threw myself onto the cushions, with my arms spread out like a plane. I went for miles. The missus wasn't best pleased, but my girls both think I'm a hero.

trolley riding
I enjoy riding trolleys too. At least, I did untill once when I was pushing the trolley outside. The ground sloped slightly away from the shops door and I was riding on the back down the slope when it started to turn slightly sideways. Not normaly a problem, but this time my shoelace got caught around the wheel and jammed it, which sent me and the trolley flying arse over tit and scattered my shopping across the carpark.

Definitely a man thing
My ex didn't appreciate it, my mum doesn't appreciate it and my flatmate doesn't appreciate it.

Neither does the Tesco security guard.

I used to have a pair of gripless shoes I used to use to get a bit extra sliding action, but they've worn through now :(

The checkout
women at my local ASDA seem to enjoy it when I fly past doing my best Superman impression and giggle like schoolgirls when I do it. My missus says words to the effect of 'Dor Christ's sake!' and pretends not to be with/know me. I get around this by excitedly shouting 'Look at me Love!' and going back towards her. Security guards are humourless buggers though.
