This is a colorized clip from France circa 1923 featuring some gentlemen participating in cycle-skating. Cycle-skates each had one giant wheel on the inside of the foot so you could roll around doing donuts to impress the ladies at the park. And you know how I feel about impressing the
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
Because you don’t know until you try (and even after you’re usually left unsure), this is a video of Youtuber The Q building a pair of rollerblades that each have a large bike wheel attached. It looks like a wheelchair with no seat. That’s…something. Something you’ll see me riding at

This is a video of pro inline skater Ilia Savosin strapping wheeled office chair bases to his feet and hitting an indoor skate park to show off his skills. And what skills he has! I didn’t expect much, but he delivered so much more. Always a pleasant surprise, especially when
This is a video documenting Youtuber Jake Carlini’s quest to build a pair of roller blades using two kid’s bikes. He starts with the version seen above, which proves impractical and basically immobile, even after lowering the bindings and adding training wheels. He then builds a pair with each skate
