Laura Kampf Builds a Bike You Can Ride on Water

A bike that rides on water would be a pretty awesome thing to have, right? So here is my first attempt to build one.

I bought a bike at the junkyard for 5 euros, steel for about 15 euros, and reused some parts from my “Turbo Raft” that I built a couple of weeks ago.

It swims alright and I think it would be a lot faster on a lake. We tested it on the Rhine which has pretty strong currents.

The Steering System needs some improvement, it doesn’t work properly. But for a first try I am pretty happy with it!
