Five minutes & 15 seconds ago I didn't know what a "swing bike" was. Now I need one! I appreciate how you show your trial & error. Too many channels only show their successes. 👍🏻
That looks like a trip to ride! I love the different sized wheels and the fact that you showed the oops. I feel slightly better about my ineptitude now :) See you in April!
Been watching your progress for a couple of years now Laura, and I have to say you are a total inspiration.... I really dig the quality of the video presentations, the editing and most of the originality of the projects. As a maker/mechanic/art teacher myself, I find your approach to be a refreshing change to the expected norm.... Long may it continue.
Excellent truly excellent. Your engineering and design skills are only surpassed by your sense of fun and lust for life. Thank you very much. I love the bicycle projects. Respect. Regards Gareth Wiltshire UK
Great swingbike! Always fun to see people try to learn to ride one of these. And the great thing about them it's actually easier than it looks and so much fun. You should make a bike with inversed steering next, they're almost impossible to ride :)
@@herzog2604 Yeah I love that video! It's so cool how quick the kid picks up the skill and it's hilarious seeing the guy try to ride a normal bike again
This is amazing to see, built and in action. There was a newspaper clipping one of the Nat Lamp True Facts books (mid-90s or earlier) about a Swedish inventor who'd made a hinged bike. The short piece said it made sense to him when he thought of it, but after building and riding it, he said "it actually makes no sense. But we live in a world where every little thing is supposed to make sense, and I'm tired of that." The grainy b&w pic of him on the bike looks just like the shots of rolling over the coffee cup.
I love all the little details. This was such a neat process to watch you transform all the pieces to fit together. And I totally cheered when you made it around the coffee cup! That is such a cool bike! And a great video! See you at Spring Make!
I’m a huge fan of cycling and I have a vintage Raleigh bike of 1979 for the tweed run of London. I have to admit Laura that your bike and every bike that you’re making looks awesome! Especially this one looks like you can have a lot of fun with!
Beer Bike and the Ultimate Festival Bike will always remain my favourites. God bless you Laura! You just don't have the time for Livestreaming anymore.
I saw swing bikes before . They are difficult to ride and I don't see real purpose of it except artistic and some fun . Still great video .Love to watch . Thanks .
Liked so much the music I went to Epidemic Sound and I created a playlist called "Laura Kampf" with this one and other similar musics :D Yes, I searched it until I found it! Nice work Laura!
This is a fun project! Perfect as a challenge for a company events and stuff. Have you seen the bikes that turn the wrong way? You turn handlebar left and the wheel turn right. They are hopeless to ride.
Great job! I've always planned to some day build sort of a tandem bike but with three wheels, made out of two bikes. The middle wheel is the rear wheel of the first bike and also the front wheel of the second. So the front fork of the second bike is connected to the rear wheel of the first bike. This can be you next bike project! 😁
Another great build, but WOW that thing looks hard to ride! Good on you for giving it a go, I don't think I could pedal two meters and stay upright....
Love the bike Laura. I did a bike rally once and someone brought a bike they'd made where the handlebars went in the opposite direction to the front wheel. The challenge was to see who could actually ride the thing for longer than about 2 seconds. How's about that for your next bike project......!
the rear wheel will automatically straighten and maintain a forward attitude if the back pivot were sloped away from your center of gravity. front forks also work this way as they too are sloped away from the rider; adding weight to the seat keeps the wheel straight
I like your decision to use hand tools only, as many of us indeed don't have the bigger or more expensive machines. On that thought, how do you feel about giving more in depth tips about specific making processes? For example: how to use a chisel. It goes a bit beyond your current format, but I'm sure you've got plenty to teach us, and I for one would love to learn. Edit: actually, I guess that's what skill share is about..
It's very cool but seems hard to ride in a straight line, I think that a spring mechanism at the pivot point would make it ride better, acting as a self aligning frame.
Awesome bike!!! 🚲💪 Every video I watch of yours, I always wonder what inspired you to become a maker? Are you the first in your family or have you come from a long line of makers?
Nice building! Maybe would be better to have a bigger tire on front for stability and a smaller one on back to have more control during start? Nice and enjoyable video, anyway.
I wonder if you do the thing where if you turn right it goes left and vice-versa, added to the swingbike, would it just become un-drivable? I think it was smarter everyday that did it.
That was really funny :) I wonder if it would actually be functional if you fixed the front steering column so the handlebars would always be perpendicular to the front frame, but keep the pivot at the seat as it is?
First I thought that there won't be front pivot point for steering and front wheel will be fixed in place (so it will turn like some heavy-duty machine by braking in the middle)... But this is really funny project you've made!
That was exceptionally cool! Are there contests using that sort of bike or was it just a case of I wonder if this would work? Either way, that was outstanding!!!

Haha ya so do i

It’s a blast to ride! We should make one at spring make :)
love all the wacky and weird things you do to bicycles

I love you Laura, your great funny lady, God has put a lot of spunky ingenuity in you keep it up!!

There is a super cool video about them from "smarter every day" its called "the backwards brain bycicle"
@@herzog2604 Yeah I love that video! It's so cool how quick the kid picks up the skill and it's hilarious seeing the guy try to ride a normal bike again
Brilliant Laura love it. You are brave to ride it and I love the finished look with the larger rear wheel. 👍

See you there my friend!
Not only are you one of my favorite Maker's / creator's but you also have a knack for picking some of the best music.
That intro was really slick, great build!

evey video of u playing with bicycles is just fun to watch. Thank u for the effort.

I saw swing bikes before . They are difficult to ride and I don't see real purpose of it except artistic and some fun . Still great video .Love to watch . Thanks .
Always fun to watch you experiment!
Liked so much the music I went to Epidemic Sound and I created a playlist called "Laura Kampf" with this one and other similar musics :D Yes, I searched it until I found it! Nice work Laura!
Fun to watch you make the bike and try and figure out what it was as it came together. Thanks for the video.
This is a fun project! Perfect as a challenge for a company events and stuff. Have you seen the bikes that turn the wrong way? You turn handlebar left and the wheel turn right. They are hopeless to ride.
Dude - you're the BALLZ!!! I LOVE IT!!
Just love how you think of different things to make for each video. You should mass produce some of the things you make and sell it on your site.
Another fun build, another great video, another great Sunday on UA-cam. Cheers, Laura :)
Great job! I've always planned to some day build sort of a tandem bike but with three wheels, made out of two bikes.

The opening shot and title on the grinder disk blew me away. I love your style. You got the hang of riding that bike quickly.
Really cool Laura! 😃👍🏻🚴🏼♀️👊🏻
Great bike build! Cool to see you TIG welding. Some really neat linkages and engineering going on! :)
Well done Laura, really like the bike mods, you could use a locking pin for riding and folding for transportation......
I love watching the way your mind works, a swing bicycle nobody but nobody would have ever come up with this concept let alone made it work, nobody.
Tu non sei normale!!! E questo e' un complimento.
Ti do 10 pollicioni in su.
Bravissima, esageratamente fantastica....
I first saw this kind of bikes on the Seth's Bike Hacks channel. Hella cool, awesome to watch you making one!
what you build everything😀 great technical nonsense that makes you very happy❤️🍀 THX laura for sharing
Cool bike , great work . Looks like fun to ride...
That smile at 3:12, that's why I build freak bikes. I know the exact feeling.
that looks like huge fun to ride. good work.
Great build Laura! Looks like a lot of fun to ride although practise is definately necessary haha!
Jillian and I both agree that's a fun bike : ) Hope to see you at Spring Make as well!
Great video Laura!
Made me laugh.
Always love your videos - real gems.
Thanks, Laura.
Another great build, but WOW that thing looks hard to ride! Good on you for giving it a go, I don't think I could pedal two meters and stay upright....
I had no Idea what a swing bike was before now. It's crazy! 😂 I dont know how you ride that, but I love it!
Hi. Am new to your channel. Wonderful! Your bicycle adaptions are gloriously nutty and very skilled. Heath Robinson comes to mind. Thank you.
Another Great Video Big L!....(as always!) You’re very inspiring! Much Love ❤️Have Super Week!.....Gus
Amazing as always young lady. 👍👍👍
Love it! Keep it up friend!
Can’t wait to see how a side car fits onto this bike 😀👍
I love your crazy ideas,... Thanks!!!
Love the bike Laura. I did a bike rally once and someone brought a bike they'd made where the handlebars went in the opposite direction to the front wheel. The challenge was to see who could actually ride the thing for longer than about 2 seconds. How's about that for your next bike project......!
Nice build! I think it became instable because the tubs go down towards the back. If you make them horizontal you should get a more stable ride.
That looks like fun great vid
Me encantan tus videos, saludos desde México ✌️
I bet riding that bike is a great core workout! 🏋️♀️
Mad crazy Laura
Keep it up 🤪
That bike looks like so much fun 😄
a 100%fun project. I love those. Danke fürs Zeigen und für den LOL-Effekt.
Gruß
Sascha
Always love your videos. Personally I would have corrected the pedal strike with a longer front fork. But you always figure it out!
Great build. Also, the music sounds like "Thank you, next"
Great make, those bikes seems silly, but as you 15th bike perfect! Love it Laura - love your creative spirit! Cheers, Steve aka The Talking Fly
Love this stuff!!!
I really enjoy the videos in which you play with bicycle
me too!
That was a sexy soundtrack. 😂
Genial!!! Gracias por divertirte tanto!!!
Maybe rename this channel to Bike Hoarder? 😂😂😃 Another great vid to watch 👍
Hah 😄 pretty fun project. Next build a Python recumbent bike. It should be at least as difficult to learn to ride as that one 😄
SO DOPE! I don’t think I could ride the swing bike though. I would probably run into walls and fences and things. LOL
NICE TiG work!
Looks awesome but very hard to ride! 👊🏻
That’s one crazy bike build... don’t need to drink to ride it...😂
The Queen of Inefficient Bicycles :-)
the rear wheel will automatically straighten and maintain a forward attitude if the back pivot were sloped away from your center of gravity.
front forks also work this way as they too are sloped away from the rider; adding weight to the seat keeps the wheel straight
Love the bikes you make! Any chance of making a 4 wheeler?
I like your decision to use hand tools only, as many of us indeed don't have the bigger or more expensive machines.

Edit: actually, I guess that's what skill share is about..
That is super cool!
Great stuff. Just curious, is there anything to be careful of when welding to brazed lugs from an old donor frame?
Parabéns... Virei seu fã! Adoro trabalhos criativos iguais os seus.
No way your driving that bike iffin you had a few drinks....aw heck, Challenge Accepted! Nice upcycle build 😎
YOU FINALLY DID IT! I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THAT FOR A WHILE!
I'm just having flashbacks of you riding Elm City Dave's at the tipi build. Well done L
It's very cool but seems hard to ride in a straight line, I think that a spring mechanism at the pivot point would make it ride better, acting as a self aligning frame.
Awesome bike!!! 🚲💪 Every video I watch of yours, I always wonder what inspired you to become a maker? Are you the first in your family or have you come from a long line of makers?
My best friend in grade school was from Japan. He had one in the early 80s. 😁
Nice building!
Maybe would be better to have a bigger tire on front for stability and a smaller one on back to have more control during start?
Nice and enjoyable video, anyway.
Great build! How many bikes do you own now? :)
Laura, you should build a velocino / donkey bike. It would really be a nice addition to your freakbike fleet.
Funny idea Laura!
I wonder if you do the thing where if you turn right it goes left and vice-versa, added to the swingbike, would it just become un-drivable? I think it was smarter everyday that did it.
Laura me gusto el vídeo sigue subiendo más vídeos son muy interesantes
A crash course in bicycle making and riding. -- Twas fun. Thanks
That is wild! If you get tired of being a UA-camr, you could apply at the circus! And please, don't get going to fast on that thing! Thanks Laura!
You may get a six pack that way. And I don't mean beer :-) Nice build ;-)
i enjoy watching your videos. what is the purpose of a "swing" bike? i have never seen anything like that.
How hard was it to ride? Always wondered how these things rode.
That was really funny :) I wonder if it would actually be functional if you fixed the front steering column so the handlebars would always be perpendicular to the front frame, but keep the pivot at the seat as it is?
Yeeeyyy! Another bike! :D
Damn it, the coolest bike I´ve ever seen! :D
First I thought that there won't be front pivot point for steering and front wheel will be fixed in place (so it will turn like some heavy-duty machine by braking in the middle)... But this is really funny project you've made!
That might be the most terrifying thing you have ever build
"oopsie!" We laughed! :)
Such fun!
That was exceptionally cool! Are there contests using that sort of bike or was it just a case of I wonder if this would work? Either way, that was outstanding!!!
Gran trabajo gracias por compartir
Nice! Looking forward to talking with you at SpringMake again this year...!
