YouTube channel The Q is all about interesting science experiments and creative engineering. Some of the projects qualify for madlad engineering because of the danger involved when working with the obviously razor-sharp materials. This time, The Q showcases how you can ride your conventional bike with a small wheel adjustment. Your typical rubber wheels would easily slip there, which means you need a strong grip on ice to prevent this.
What could serve a better purpose for this than some circular saws?
That's right. The Q shows how a man rode his bike with saws as wheels in style.

A modification was given to a normal mountain bike to turn it into... a frozen lake bike?

The voiceless instructions show how the man disassembled the bike's wheels to replace them with circular saws. He added a few extra parts to fit in the metal saws to the wheel's structure.
He used two 26-inch circular saws in replacement of the wheels.
That is how a deadly bike came to exist on earth. One would never imagine that a bike can be more lethal than any other transportation.
It was definitely great for riding on a thickly frozen lake.

The idea was very simple, but hilariously effective.

The man shows how he welds the parts together and what the holes are for.

These new parts are used to put the circular saws in place on the bike. Adjustments are necessary since circular saws aren't lightweight and flexible like rubbers. Plus, the man used a whole circular saw instead of only using its outer structure. While metal is more robust, it is also easier to bend when under pressure than rubber wheels that absorb the pressure.Pretty dangerous engineering: man has to make sure it can turn properly on the hinges that were meant for rubber wheels.

And it worked as they expected it to! Because the circular saws are still sharp, they leave clean cutes on the surface.
