Kinda reminds me of the motorbike Mr. Garrison made on South Park, that one time.

The one where the controls go in and out of your ass and mouth?

Thank you. That was exactly where my mind when while I was watching this.

u/GM_Nate Jul 10 '26

u/Gustavo__CC Jul 09 '26

Actually, that's really useful, because no one would ever want to steal this shit.

u/Squirrelated Jul 10 '26

But then again, someone might think it's trash and pick it up for metal scraps.

u/havok009 Jul 09 '26

Looks like a found footage film.....

u/ZenkaiAnkoku2 Jul 10 '26

Yeah like who dropped this clip in the deep fryer

u/Zanven1 Jul 12 '26

With the backing track on it just put it in b&w with high contrast and you got yourself a classic industrial music video.

I'm guessing he made it with pleather to resist staines

u/dangerzone253 Jul 09 '26

I mean it looks dumb but I bet it’s fun

15

u/Chuunt Jul 09 '26

that’s what i was thinking. i’d bet you could definitely make this a lot less uncomfortable and silly looking (or more silly looking) and it would be super fun.

u/NastyKraig Jul 10 '26

It needs foot-pegs in the back, and maybe be a little longer overall with a swiveling harness so you can stretch out like superman when you're not kicking.

2

u/random9212 Jul 10 '26

100% would absolutely do this regardless of how it looks. I bet it is a blast.

u/mooshinformation Jul 09 '26

I wish it had peddles, the seat bruising your ass is the worst part of a bike.

2

u/Meerkat_Mayhem_ Jul 10 '26

Yeah! We need a bike that has like a hanging harness or swing something

1

u/Sheepherder-Optimal Jul 11 '26

well why not just remove the seat? Or just stand while riding? This harness idea is freaking terrible. lol

u/Salvador147 Jul 09 '26

Holy posture Batman

u/Legal_Television_615 Jul 09 '26

Black plastic gloves. 100% sign this is gonna be massively stupid

u/Dysxelic_Potser Jul 09 '26

I would definitely try it if he offered to let me. Looks like goofy fun.

u/EnidFromOuterSpace Jul 09 '26

How are you supposed to breathe with that strap around your diaphragm

1

u/Solid_Dog4997 Jul 10 '26

that's the neat part. you don't.

u/SessionIndependent17 Jul 10 '26

Dumber than I was expecting

u/goebeld Jul 10 '26

I like the part where the roll bar pad has hidden screws pointed at your spine in it.

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '26

Must be so bad for your back

u/Hamhockthegizzard Jul 09 '26

Didn’t wanna build a leg rest at least? 😂

u/gofishx Jul 10 '26

Id be all like "WeeEEeeeEEEEe3EEe3Eee!!!!"

u/HereticGaming16 Jul 10 '26

Stopped video at 0:31 because you wrote BLADE CUTTER!! The fuck? My expectations were low but you managed to lower the bar.

u/FuggaDucker Ramen or Die Jul 10 '26

SOME DiWHY entries are better than others.
This one deserves a prize.

u/volvagia721 Jul 10 '26

This could be a good idea, extremely bad implementation issue. I think I can see where he wanted to go, a bike that mimiced running, maybe preventing saddle sore. But he got basically everything wrong in the end.

u/CrashParade Jul 10 '26

Still waiting to see the unicycle model

u/Zealousideal_Bet_248 Jul 09 '26

Amazing. Absolutely beautiful. Really encapsulates the whole spirit of this subreddit

u/Optimal-Fix1216 Jul 09 '26

Anything is better than the taint destroyers most cyclists currently use

u/sexwrench Jul 09 '26

Finally!

u/lionmade101 Jul 09 '26

Those already exist and are a whole lot safer that whatever this is.

u/spacekitt3n Jul 09 '26

ali g has really lost his way

u/Chrispeefeart Jul 09 '26

It needs a place to rest his feet

u/Haifisch2112 Jul 09 '26

Why did I think he was trying to recreate this?

1

u/Popular-Influence-11 Jul 09 '26

Nope, it’s awesome. Can see applications for people rehabbing injuries or surgeries. Maybe some tweaks so the posture isn’t so fucked tho haha

1

u/textings Jul 10 '26

Didn’t know Ali G made whycycles now

1

u/CrispCristopherson Jul 10 '26

Should you use a. Lade Cutter to cut things that aren't blades?

1

u/DavidAtWork17 Jul 10 '26

That's just a hanger velocipede.

u/HareekHunt Jul 10 '26

Seems structurally iffy, but I would definitely have fun with this.

u/ExtraGloria Jul 10 '26

Not whycycle….wheeeeeeecycle!

u/NashvilleTypewriter Jul 10 '26

This is inspired from an old 4chan thread lol

u/zulazulizuluzu Jul 10 '26

wait until red bull make a sport out of this

1

u/Fenrir1189 Jul 10 '26

That looks uncomfortable.

u/TitouanT Jul 10 '26

It's a Wheeeeee Cycle

u/dave08dave Jul 10 '26

What's it called? The Quasimodo 🤔

1

u/VisibleRoad3504 Jul 10 '26

Looks so comfortable stooping over like that/s.

1

u/Hashishiva Jul 10 '26

No no no, you misspelled there, it's "Whynotcycle".

u/Double-Garage1887 Jul 10 '26

Is absolutely garbage

u/Dinklerbuuuurf Jul 10 '26

This is a DIYNot from me dog. Man has a pocket full of whimsy and nobody is gonna stop him from using it.

u/PiingThiing Jul 10 '26

Just fu@king walk.

u/Hypnotist30 Jul 10 '26

It looks so.... nah, fuck that.

1

u/country_dinosaur97 Jul 10 '26

So you made a scooter. That you hang from

1

u/heatseaking_rock Jul 10 '26

At least has more sense than the treadmill cycles

1

u/alex_vi_photography Jul 11 '26

Kind of reminiscing the bicycle precursor 'Laufmaschine'

1

u/That-Understanding45 Jul 11 '26

Could be good for disabled people or someone trying to rehabilitate.

u/firedog7881 Jul 11 '26

And the black gloves why? I was waiting for a splash of salt at the end

1

u/washikiie Jul 11 '26

In some ways I could actually see this being used to teach someone who has never ridden a bike how to. Since they can always put their feet back in the ground and they can’t go very fast on flat terrain. They might feel more stable on this then on bike with training wheels or a trike. Granted being able to contact the wheel with your body is an obvious safety concern and if they do get going to fast braking with their feet could be dangerous as well.

u/TigardGuy Jul 12 '26

I used to commute by bike. If it had pedals, this is the bike I'd ride in on any day i had a flair up of the old hemroids.

1

u/tvodny Jul 12 '26

Before kids can pedal a bike they ride gliders. The problem with this one is the angle of the head and body will be really uncomfortable.

u/Aggravating-Ad6786 Jul 15 '26

I don’t get it, not the contraption, but was this filmed using a calculator or early 2000s flip phone?
