What happens when bike tubes are replaced with suspension springs? British backyard creator Colin Furze investigates.

Colin Furze builds a bicycle frame out of springs

Colin Furze is known for wacky inventions on his YouTube channel, and his latest video is no exception. His video, “The Bicycle of Springs,” adds a whole new meaning to “full squish.”

He took the body of an outdated bicycle, tore it aside, and rebuilt it with heavy accountability springs.

Several weeks and 400-500 pounds later, he does get something built. It took Furze three different sets of springs to finally get something that could actually hold the weight of a human. The third set is finally rigid enough to do so, and Furze welds the three tubes together, gets the seat back on, gives it a paint job and takes it for a spin.

And from the looks of it, it definitely gives off flex that probably no other bike on Earth does. “It rides just like a normal bike. It just does weird things,” Colin said.
