Bike builder Tom Donhou — the namesake behind our very own Donhou Bicycles — has a dream, and possibly a death wish. He wants to ride a pedal-powered bike up to 100 miles per hour, and he's hoping this somewhat ludicrous creation is the bicycle that will let him do it. Read More >>

Imagine wrapping an electrical band-aid on that live high voltage power line. Yes, using your hands to wrap wire around the damaged wire bursting with electricity. This is one scary job. Watch it.
