Using another character as a mount brings up a lot of rules gray areas. Expect variation.
Enemies have employed these tactics.

sooo... pfs has no rules for giving piggyback rides? T.T
But no, I played in teh spoiler, but my concern is "carrying capacity". I mean, I just see my character grabbing someone by the scruff of their armor, over her shoulder, leaning forward, getting them off their feet, and taking off... No real lifting etc.
Sure that's fine. Just make sure to note that muleback cords take the very valuable shoulders slot, so no cloaks of resistance for you. That's what I would have spent my 1k on...

I and everyone I have played with have always played that you carry people and their gear just like you would carry their body and their gear. I haven't seen any archers or casters set up shop on a beefy characters shoulders. Regular use of such at tactic would feel fairly cheesy to me. But there are times I could see it as reasonable.

I have seen it used at low levels by a couple of players at a convention. A Halfling archer riding in the backpack of a (support-type) human Cleric. They were clearly having fun with it, and didn't seem to be trying to majorly cheese things up. (Although there are no "bulk encumberance" rules in Pathfinder they - with their home GM - had decided that the backpack could not hold anything but the Halfling. They acknowledged that at higher levels this would probably start presenting a problem.)
Also one of the people who GMed for them decided to apply the rules from the boots of levitation as well. The attack penalty would keep rising until the *cleric* spent a full-round action to stabilize. The players thought that was brilliant and decided to incorporate that from then on.
belt with similar effect.

Unless you find it on a certain module's chronicle sheet. No. I'm not saying which one.

Though when we found it we were put off by the spell failure issue.

Well, if you are a fighter, you don't care :P
Yes, our rogues and fighters were somewhat happy :)

I gave my imp familiar Muleback Cords and the Heavyload Belt so he can carry me around. I call it the Chelaxi Taxi.
Max load of 150, light load of 50. Halfling? Or just short and light and flying at 35'?

Throw in some boots of levitate and they'll just have to push you around. ;-)

10(nat)+8(cords)=100 lbs light load x 3 (belt) = 300 light load x 1/2 tiny = 150 light load.
My friends and I recently played through Fire over Blackcrag. Through large portions of the mythic adventure, my champion sprinted all of the battlefield (sometimes at hundreds of feet a round) while the sorcerer piggy-backed, blasting everything with her spells and protecting her dedicated meat shield with buffs.
