8 Shoe Walking Bike

— April 2, 2008 — Unique
This is hilarious. When creative, wonky heads have time on their hands and too much energy, they come up with this kind of stuff. It's a great way to recycle old shoes as each wheel has eight separate sneakers. No one knows why Max Knight built it but it looks good enough to be in a pop art museum. Apparently it works...kind of:

“Max Knight has fused sneakers and bikes into the 'Walking Bike'<” New Launches says. “The wheels are a bit special as each of them has eight separate sneakers. The best part is you can actually ride it.”

Here's another kind of shoe wheel:
