Always one to push personal transportation to the limit, this is a video of engineer James Bruton (seen previously constructing a personal AT-AT walker) building an omni-directional bike that sits on two giant balls. It works beautifully. And speaking of giant balls– “Elephants?” NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES. Up to 2,200-pounds!

Because bad ideas come in all shapes and sizes, this is a video of Youtuber Gregulations constructing a motorcycle version of a penny farthing using a Yamaha YZF-R6 and a bunch of custom built parts. Despite having training wheels, the resulting cycle has deathtrap written all over it, and at

This is a video of freestyle cyclist JAKE 100 launching his front bike wheel off a ramp and bouncing it across a few 50-gallon drums while he wheelies without it, then catches it and reattaches it to his bike. Man, these bike tricks have really gotten WILD. I remember when

Because dream it and you can achieve it, a team from the Netherlands has successfully built and ridden the world’s longest bike, measuring 55.16 meters (180-feet, 11-inches) in length (recently: the world’s tallest bike). The group was “inspired by a longstanding interest in Guinness World Records and a desire to

Because bad ideas come in all danger levels, this is a video of professional freeride mountain biker Sam Pilgrim replacing his bike’s traditional wheels with giant circular saw blades to see how the bike rides. SPOILER: Surprisingly well. Granted, Sam is a professional cyclist and can probably handle a bike

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
