Um… OK. Just don’t pedal in a circle too many times.
Also, don’t slide off the seat backwards.
This … just seems like a bad idea no matter how you look at it.

If you watch the video, he had to weld lateral tabs on every tooth to keep the blades from cutting into the ice. So he literally just reinvented really terrible studded tires. 
Great editing, though.

Papercuts happen every day. As for a circumcision, gulp I don’t even like to consider either instrument being used for that.
Texas remake.
It looks like it would be incredibly heavy to pedal. But hey, have fun, I guess.

It seems like I just posted this the other day.
They do require modifying how you lean a bike into turns when on dry pavement, but they are outstanding on glare ice.

Yeah, but actually useful things don’t get views on the intertubes.
