teeth on the front wheel should be facing forward so the break works.
That looks crazy!
Something I never understand, why so many "craftsman" waste precious material by cutting pieces out of the middle of a piece of stock. Moving pieces to the edge saves time and work ,while leaving a more useful piece for some other project down the road.

nice build otherwise.
studded bike tires seem like a much better solution
Maybe so, but way less cool.Quote:

Sure would hate to hit a big bump and slip off the seat.
You can ride a "normal" bike in snow if it is not too deep and you have knobby tires. A bike on ice is deadly. In a car, with 4 wheels, you slide on ice but do not usually tip over. A bike with normal tires on ice can fall over before you have time to react, skinny tire does not have enough grip to propel you forward.Quote:

That is about as insane as those Northern ice speedway 'bikes with the steel studded tyres!
I would think fenders on this would be a must. In the video he's not going very fast but if you picked up speed a little, the ice would fling into your face and all over your back wouldn't it? Happens with water and a regular bike. And is it really still a saw blade if you weld those tips on all of the teeth?
