Because everybody uses their spare time differently (I have no spare time), this is a video of Youtuber Chris Makes Stuff constructing a hubless, electric penny farthing bike. The hubless design is cool, but the motorization is a must — pedaling is one of my least favorite part of riding
This is a short video from New York City of a street performer balancing a couch on his head while riding a bicycle. I believe this is the same man who was previously seen balancing a trash can on his head in this video. Dude’s got wicked balance. Me? I
Back with yet another genius(?) bike hack, engineer The Q went and replaced the wheels of his bike with steel-toed metal frames that each hold 16 Adventure Time Jake The Dog slippers in place of rubber tires. The result is surprisingly impressive, provided you just have to watch and listen
Piggybacking on the build of his bike with treaded square tires, this is a video of engineer The Q reducing the design to its bare minimum, producing a tireless bike that runs on thin treads that only make contact with the pavement at two points. That’s…something. Something I wish I’d
Built by mountain biker and experimental bike maker Sam Pilgrim (previously), this is a video of a side-by-side tandem mountain bike where both riders get a pair of pedals and handlebars, but only the right-hand rider can steer and use the brakes. Obviously, if you’re a control freak, you’ll want
This is some helmetcam footage from cyclist Adam Hayward riding down a million steps, rattling his brain and having the time of his life in the process. That was a lot of steps. Was this part of the Great Wall Of China? I’m kidding, I know it’s not. Seriously was
Because some people actually have the gumption to see their ridiculous ideas through to fruition instead of abandoning them the morning after the “scribbled on a bar napkin” phase, this is a video of Youtuber Scotty Cranmer and friends riding the pogo stick bike they constructed. Instead of wheels it
This is a video of engineer and maker of things The Q building and riding a bike with square wheels. Not the square wheels you’d expect though, instead of rattling all your teeth out of your head when you ride it, the wheels are actually treaded, which allows for an
