Situation: You're Hard Up For Team Building Options

There are sites out there that offer teambuilding exercises you can do in the office, which I guess is ok if your group is the "go along with it" type.  However, most need something a little different and off-site.  Which brings us to this goofy idea for a teambuilding exercise.  The conference bike has been around for a while now.   I thought I'd throw it out here, just because its unusual.  Wikipedia defines teambuilding in a rather complex way, which I think is what happens once people start consulting in a particular area.  To me, if everyone just gets along a little better afterwards, then we've had a good outing.

Other Options
I tend to think weird=memorable.  I'm still working on getting everyone to do the group Trapeze Lessons.  We've done Dave and Busters, Ice Skating, etc. - but I just can't bring myself to do the ropes course thing.  Our crew is a little more outspoken , dynamic, and opinionated than most.  So we just try to get together and have a good time once in a while.
