A bicycle shop in Altlandsberg, Germany has taken a unique direction with their advertising. To assure their store gets noticed, the store owners decided to cover the outer walls of their shop with about 120 bicycles mounted on the building’s exterior. The bikes replace the traditional sign, but somehow, we feel the residents will get the point. Link [via]

Japanese artist Yasuhiro Suzuki built this boat to look as if it were unzipping the water if seen from an airplane or helicopter. The effect is quite good and the ocean seems to love it, dirty slut that it is. Seriously, a $250 dinner and you never call? Screw you ocean! Virgin my ass. After the jump check out the ...

If you’re devoted to leaving as little of a carbon footprint as possible, or if your name is Fred Flintstone, the HumanCar Imagine PS by Charles Greenwood is one of the greenest vehicles you’ll ever see. The HumanCar sits four and is powered through human power via cranking / paddling. When four people are cranking away, the car can travel ...

While this isn’t the first-time that Seabreacher has introduced a trailblazing, adrenaline-gushing, limit-pressing submersible water vehicle, this is by far their most extreme creation yet. The Seabreacher X starts where the Seabreacher J left off. Now with a Shark-inspired body rather than that of a dolphin, the Seabreacher X boosts the performance with a 260hp supercharged engine, allowing the vehicle ...

Don’t worry, the Viking XL Lift System isn’t only for surprisingly jolly (considering the fact he needs a specially designed rig to hoist him around the house) gingers. Capable of lifting up to 660 lbs., or about half of yo momma (burn!) despite only weighing about 95 lbs. itself. Hey, it beats portion control. As an added bonus, the hoist ...

My brother and I love playing that Volkswagen punching game when we’re cruising down the road. Well, more like my brother punches me and I grimace. I’m truly terrible at it. So it’s more like a one-sided slugfest then a true game. Black one! Red one! Inside out one! Wait… huh?! AlmapBBDO’s newest advertisement for the Volkswagen Fox turns the ...

Most city dwellers rely on their feet more than anything, but there are more than a handful that prefer to cruise around their respective hoods on wheels. Most of these bikers you’ll see with backpacks or messenger bags, because when you live a city, leaving your bike parked on the street without a lock and chain is not an option ...

If you’ve chosen the career path of car jacking, you’re job has likely never came very easily. There’s the trouble of car alarms, conscientious bystanders, not too mention police officers. Can’t a man steal another man’s vehicle in peace? Lucky for all of you aspiring car jack-artists out there, your job just got a whole lot easier, or at least ...

Don’t mind me, I’m just a harmless little shrub… on wheels… with a stalker inside… taking pictures of you bent over. The Terrestrial Shrub Rover, built by Justin Shull, is a movable shrub with enough room inside for one person and three LCD cameras (or about 300 of these mini-cams). A remote webcam version is still on the workbench. Hit ...

This is no model or concept design. Available for the price of $100,000 or best offer on eBay (do they accept firstborns?), the Dark Knight Batpod, inspired from the Batman film The Dark Knight is a fully-functional motorcycle, welded together from hardened steel, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the real thing. The only part of this bike that doesn’t work ...
