Invisible Bike Wheels

Invisible Bike Wheels

While it’s possible to build a hubless bicycle, it’s a mechanically complex feat. Builder The Q came up with a similar look that does away with the spokes instead, replacing them with thick polyacrylate sheets. We’re not sure how durable they are or how they affect ride quality, but it’s a really cool illusion.

How to Ride a Bike Down Stairs

When approaching a staircase with your bicycle, it’s best to dismount and walk it down. That is unless you know what you’re doing like freestyle cyclist Fabio Wibmer, who makes it look easy. And he did it backward while balancing on the front wheel. Or, you could just skip over the entire staircase.

Sam Pilgrim loves to ride unusual bikes. This time, he was joined by his little brother Lewi on a crazy two-wheeler called the Buddy Bike.

Only the right-hand rider gets to steer and control the brakes, though.

Skateboard + Bike = Skatebike

Skateboard + Bike = Skatebike

Mountain bikes are fun to ride, and so are skateboards. So is riding twice as fun if you combine the two? Master of weird bikes Sam Pilgrim put the idea to the test by grafting skateboard trucks onto the front fork and rear end of his bike. It works surprisingly well, though we think he should have welded the pedals in place.

Take it off the public streets and kick it up to 28 mph in off-road mode. It comes in two models: one with a full suspension and a hardtail version with front suspension only.

Making a Magnetic Bike Transmission

Making a Magnetic Bike Transmission

A normal bike uses a set of gears to influence the amount of torque sent to its rear wheel. Tom Stanton wanted to see if it was possible to create a bike transmission that uses magnets to turn its wheel and create resistance. Put your thinking caps on for this brainy video that incorporates physics, math, and engineering.

Extreme Penny-Farthing Bike Riding

Extreme Penny-Farthing Bike Riding

Freestyle mountain bike rider Sam Pilgrim got his hands on an old-timey penny-farthing bike with a huge 32″ front wheel. But instead of riding it over to the neighborhood thrift store, he hit a sketchy downhill trail and a BMX track on the two-wheeler. That fixed hub for pedaling looks like quite the workout.

Making Bike Tires from Tennis Balls

Making Bike Tires from Tennis Balls

This wouldn’t be the best use of tennis balls that we’ve seen, but we have to hand it to The Q for his creativity. For no reason other to prove that it could be done, he created a bike tires which never need air because they ride on a cushion of tennis balls. The trickiest part of the build was the rig that crams tennis balls into PVC rings.
