Video: What if bike tyres were made from ice? Someone actually tried it ...

Colin Furze, man behind the jet-powered Raleigh Shopper, is back with another insane video

This is perhaps the most insane bike video we’ve seen during 2014 – a bike that has ice for tyres, rather than rubber.

The film is the work of Colin Furze, who will be familiar to many of you through his jet-powered Raleigh Shopper video from last year.

His latest video sees him test those ice wheels over a variety of terrain – with what might best be described as mixed results.

Let’s just say there is a rather marked contrast in the ice-tyre equipped bike’s performance going uphill to when it is being ridden downhill, not to mention on an ice rink and a glacier …

Here’s the video, with the ‘making of’ clip showing the science behind it following below.

It's top stuff. He used to do a lot of BMX, which explains the riding skills. I do love the commitment to the shirt & tie look when doing daft/dangerous stuff.

"I put my winter wheels on my bike 2 weeks ago. I use fulcrum quattro cx wheels. They are £212 on ...
in Winter Wheel options/suggestions?"
