Maniac Replaces His Bicycle Wheels With Sawmill Blades for Frozen Lake Riding
Saw way more badass looking tires for rolling on snow and ice on reddit and had to come back to share it https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/lpv5ob/snow_tyre_naah/ - maybe somebody could find a 1 meter diameter rotary burr and put it on the back of a motorcycle, next?
Very cool! With the original blade design, it's a human powered ice cutter- don't circle the ice shanty too many times! Great mod to the hubs.
The moment he had to tack on the perpendicular pieces the project was over - they are no longer saw blades.
Craziest design I have seen on the internet today.
Remember the boat with the sawblade at the back?
