Sailing Bicycle Project (ep 1)

I put a sail on a bicycle. Now it's a sailbike. I spent a second debating if I should call it a sailbike or a bisailcle.
I am already working on the next version of the sailbike. Making a sail is going to be very time-consuming. Not only do I have to sit down and sew cloth for hours, but I have to read a sailmaking book and learn how to sew as well. This next video could take a while...
The bike cost me $25 at a garage sale. The sail material cost me $15 at a discount store. The eight foot aluminum mast was $20 at a hardware store. Assorted hardware and ropes cost me about $30. The scrap aluminum was about $10. The crutch and channel aluminum was free. That comes to a grand total of about $100.

Nice project!

Thanks. I hope this video inspires people to make many more projects like it. Being inventive doesn't require great expense or a great mind. It just takes time. I have spent probably 30 hours working on this project so far, and half of those hours were spent staring at the unfinished project wondering what to work on next.

Make your car able to go on water

What are you suggesting? A Jesus Chrysler? A Chevy, off the levee? A Ford that doesn't need to ford? A Honda on the pond, eh? A Toyota with a cay quota? A Hyundai in the foamy spray? A Kia on the sea, ya? A Jeep in the deep? A Nissan in the keys, man. A Ram with the clams? A Subaru on the ocean blue? Great idea! Where's my journal?
