First First First! Now give me your lousy comments
btw cool car
O really?!
There is a unicycle version for an edge trimmer. (oh yeah, first!)
i’d prefer to do it on a bike rather than walking around with it, as long as it works
I was wondering if I’d be the only person who thought that this was more of a win than a fail. If it works it’s better than nothing or the push version.
Steering this would be a nightmare…
i was hoping someone else thought this was a WIN.
i do
i think this should be a landmower win 
It’s a win.
Win For Teh WIN!!1!!!1
My first thought was, “Pffffffffffffffff, WIN!!”
WIN!
this is a win all the way!
i think its a win too
this is a win
WIN WIN WIN. ghetto, and wouldnt work but definately a win. what great thinking.
Don’t feed the first-trolls
LOLOL
If it has enough speed and the blades are sharp enough, it’ll work all right…
O Rly Mary Rose?
are you kidding me…. lawnmower WIN!
YES!!!! WIN!!!
indeed thats a cool
this is a win. genius.
agree. definitely a win.
I love it! WIN WIN WIN!
No it’s not. I saw a show on the discovery channel where they showed it is impossible to mow grass with a normal bicycle without an engine.
You saw a show on the discovery channel that said it was impossible… what about manual lawn mowers, grass didn’t just cut its self before they invented the engine… definitely a win for ingenuity.
They’re talking about bike powered mowers, not manual mowers =P
I personally would have to get on that sweet machine myself and try it out.
i don’t think so. maybe if it was a spinning blade instead of a reel it would be impossible. i use a reel mower and i believe this would work; i want to do it. with a reel mower every time you hit a twig, pebble or whatever it jams, stops, and jabs you in the gut. the bike really might be better. definate win, ingenuity+environmental! you don’t need gas…
Suck it dude. It’s totally a WIN!
Yupp! It takes too much energy to propel the … vehicle(?) itself, so there’s not enough to spin the blades and actually cut the grass while moving forward…
you are referring to a different setup. have you never seen a non-motorized lawnmower, if not, you are a fail
that’s a push mower, it’s been around since before us whippersnappers used motor mowers
that’s a push mower, it’s been around since before us whippersnappers had motor mowers
Really? I mow my grass every week with a human powered reel mower. I don’t understand how the bicycle would cause a problem, other than it being kind of awkward and probably needing a really low gear for enough torque.
Great idea, however, here’s why it wouldn’t work:
Reel mowers are geared to spin really fast for the walking speed, so that they can slice the grass effectively. Problem is that the way they are geared, the pusher has no torque. The blades have all the leverage (gears, levers, it’s all the same). Anyway, what happens is that a small stick (or a large one) can easily stop the blades dead. It’s just the way they are, you back up a foot and the stick dislodges, and you go on with mowing. However, only FAIL will happen if you lock the front of a bi/tri cycle at speed. The very least will be skid marks tearing up the lawn to be mowed. The very worst would be having your little brother post your vid on here of you catching a tiny bit of mulch and simultaneously braking something, get eaten by crocostimpys and catch fire, I guess it depends on your lawn.
And yes, we should have more rap battles. Word to your motha.
Yea, way to buy the lies of the oil company.
This is totally win, and totally works!
(Depending on gear ratio’s and placements.)
The idiots on Discovery had the lawnmower attached Sdrawkcab!
Of course it didn’t work, the oil companies would of shut them down.
*cringes at your unnecessary apostrophe*
Have you tried it?
No?
Then shut up
And even if it doesn’t work, its a good idea.
It’s a manual mower…
You know, the old ones that don’t run on gas or electricity.
Wind and second.
this is a win
I call that an ingenuity WIN!
Exactly. I’d have to see if it works before I’d FAIL it. It might be the best mower in the world.
Indeed.
It seems the consumption society is 100% succesful if something fails just because it wasn’t designed and sold for profit by a large company and somebody actually used some creativity to combine the elements of two simple tools together to make something completely original. Perhaps its a fail simply because it’s a threat to consumerism?
Anyway, I’d rate this as 100% win assuming it does work of course.
There is a unicycle version for an edge trimmer.
This is a dunelt mower I believe
I think it’s an old Raleigh. Did the Dunelts have the Brooks B72 saddles like that?
ditto that.
I’d say that’s really darn creative and I have seen other tools in the past that combine too common items (such as a broomstick and a scraper to scrape those high up areas without a ladder and a drill combined with part of a mixmaster to create a powerful cement mixer). I assume the bike-mower (if that’s what it’s called) works though or otherwise its owner/inventor would have probably dismantled it after the first time trying it out. Makes a good prototype though.
Agreed, Zigi!
I am with you 100%. Why not use our own energy to mow the lawn, it is 100% renewable energy.
It’s not actually 100% renewable energy unless your energy sources are fully renewable. I know that I consume a ton of oil in cooking with my electric stove and transporting fish from the high seas to my dinner plate and so on and so forth.
It is, however, probably more economical though (depending on the value of your time and how much of it this takes compared to using a motorized mower.)
of course a win!
Fail Blog is failing to fail.
Yeah this is win not fail. xD
My uncle told me that was how they used to mow the lawn before gas/electric powered lawn mowers.
Cool car? Really? That’s something my granny would drive on Sundays to go to mass.
Boston, MA? Why would granny go there?
If it works, thats a great idea. A healthy, green alternative to the internal combustion engine!
It doesn’t. I saw people try to do it on Discovery Channel show. The bike leaning on it, causes too much friction and you can’t push it forward.
Thats a win. genius i tells ya
That is the coolest pedal-powered mower I have ever seen!!
Are you kidding me, this is a zombie kill win for sure, this should probably be in kludges anyways.
Creativity is no fail.
tell that to Vanilla Ice.
Vanilla ice! Creativity is no fail.
I’ll collaborate and listen.
So, this is Vanilla Ice’s brand new invention?

*squeeze* Good morning!
*squeeze* Afternoon!
Yes, it’s for mowing chumps like a vandal.
If your grass is a problem yo I’ll mow it
Check out my bike while my DJ holds it
Grass in the Disco,
Grass in the…Taco Bel
Take seed ’cause you see I’m gonna mow it
My coat is on the seat just in case you didn’t know it
My bike that created all the badass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
‘Cause my grass piles like a chemical spill
Laying thyme that you can see and feel
When Shay plays on the bike he slices like a ninja
Cut like a razor blade so fast other mowers say “damn!”
If my bike was a drug I’d sell it by the gram
If your grass is a problem yo I’ll mow it
Check out the hook while Shay revolves it
*applauds*
*bows*
*cues up Mr. cuddles’ “Mow the Lawn” vid*
Will the reel trim lady please stand up.
Take a seat on the deck, I’m gonna mow your lawn.
Long grass and dandilions will all soon be gone.
Keep up your feet enjoy the flow of my yarwok song,
Cause Ima keep on rappin from duck till dawn.
Weeds be gone, grasshoppers, crickets your dead,
cause I’ll be comin the mower to cut off your head.
Yo you see that frog about 3 meters ahead?
Im gonna mow all over his ass, and turn a patch of grass red.
Now where’s my wife that glass of iced tea?
Im mowin out here alone, nobody cares about me.
I got my headphones on, with my favorite cd.
My hands are turning all numb from the vibrating.
Im getting mad sunburn, the sun is throwing some heat.
And some kids are laughing at me, while they play in the street.
But I’m almost done, Finishing will be sweet.
This was a mow the lawn rap….neat.
stay tuned for proofread version, friggin keyboard

we should have more rap battles on failblog
Agreed.
No. We really shouldn’t.
Fun ruiner.
I own a record label, and me and my partner write silly shit all the time just for shits n giggles.
And she killed Bambi’s mum.

Tsk, Tsk.
*agrees with LEILA*
*Agrees with DrB, who agrees with LEILA*
We really, really should. That was awesome
Agreed.
Quick to the fence, to the fence no wasting
Cutting the lawn before it needs raking.
I think… That if you sit on it, it will get too heavy for you to use
i still thinks it’s a win… you can use children to resolve the weight problem…
I don’t think the weight would be a problem, not necessarily anyway. A push mower like that needs some weight on it to work, especially when the grass starts to build up in the gears. Spontaneously I’d say this is a win.
As long as the welding job holds together!
Well i don’t think its a fail. The idea is not bad.
But it won’t work on a shitty lawn like this, holes everywhere..
If he would have made it on a tricycle it would work better.
Yes I agree. But its better at least then to do it “on the way we would do”.
And you can use it to cycle on street, even if it looks a little bit retarded.
You’d redefine cutting people up on the highway.
“That !@#$@% just cut me off!”
That’s cos he’s a cut above the rest!
He’s riding the cutting edge in redneck technology!
Not “he” – it’s a ladies bike -> cutlass
Cut it out you cards.
Bike manufacturers designed women’s bikes look like that because they were afraid girls would break their hymen on the horizontal bar.
It’s so they can wear skirts w/o showing their lady parts all over town.
Don’t think that bad from me jam!
Don’t think that jam is bad?
jam is good for you, on whole wheat toast especially. *drools*
*Throws white bread at Leila for her smugness*
But I don’t want white bread.
Breadist!
Not I! One of my best bread is white.
Wouldn’t you know it, she wouldn’t show it. . .
We’ll see that.
*nervous*
Are you saying it spreads nicely?
Spreads nicely, is sticky and wet….oh wait, I get it now! This is some knid of veiled reference to sex, isn’t it?!
*rocks in corner*
As if I would! Naughty GV *snig-gers*
*rolls in corner*
*buns in corner*
*cobs a feel of the buns*
Hee! You so corny.
Damn it!
*Bukkits*
Nah, she complains that the grains get everywhere.
Have you seen the size of them though? sheesh!
I’d just grain and bear it.
Wheat like you to do that.
I know it sounds corny, but I know what I like.
Rye would you care?
*throws potato bread at Leila for her intolerance*
He knows what they like.
*catch the potato bread at air, fall down on shoulder – but
saved Leilas life*
Superhero, you have to work with it a bit! Go through the maize.
Do you really think that a superhero have to work?
I save thousends of lifes every day, and you tell me to work?
Are you kidding me?
Do I look like I’m joking? I’m barley smiling.
And did you froget our aknowledgment that this is your part?
Well give me a chance, it’s my first day on a “pun-run” thread.
:p
*uses fruitcakes definition of facepalm to punish superhero with double entoundre*
*facepalm* *thwack*
Nah, it’s cool, just thought I should let you know before you invoked the wrath of Arthur!
*Game over*
x_X
I’ve allready done that!
Has your name got any meaning?
*waiting for a interessting story*
It does, but it’s a fairly long and mostly boring story.
*putting his finger in ears – silence*
fingers*
I wasn’t angry today.
Just a little.
Hahaha that would look funny in the newspaper.
The mystical Lawnmown-killer owned a whole class of students.
Sounds ‘Wacko’ to me
YAY! It’s the plan of a nerd.
That’s fun.
But it is a trike, count the wheels.
Explain me that please.
A trike is short foe a tricycle which is a three wheeled bike.
Whoops!
*replaces ‘e’ with an ‘r’
Oh thanks mate.
I see a win only
i second that!
I can’t decide if thats genious….or just plain retarded
I will decide FOR you … It is.
It’s Genious!
Double bukkit! Genius!
Hey, gaynorwegian! I found the bicycle-mower fail! It took some meticulous dedicated searching, but eventually I succeeded!
Now if I could only find my coffee mug.
*points to brewski’s left hand*
Wow, that is scary. How’d you do that?
Dragon powers!
*produces top hat and cane*
*tap dances out of room*
Dragon powers? Nothing compared to Cheesecake Powers! Your name also reminds me of the Wonkavator, except… gayer.
i like it, thats cool! It’s a WIN!
How is that a fail! That lawnmower is awesome!
It would be hard to get into corners with that thing, but otherwise I agree with you.
I rly like to mow that lawn if you know what i mean
*squeeze*
*cue mr. cuddles*
Hey, i think it’s a WIN!
A weird WIN, but a WIN!
creativity win!
No, it’s a functionality fail…
WIN!
Definate win. I can see flymo bringing this out. Or a WII Fit virtual lawnmower race game.
In terms of manual lawnmowers, this is WIN
This is a win in my manual?
In case you didn’t notice when writing the manual, yes.
This fail is becoming dangerously similar to the Audi/BMW billboard fail. God/supreme-being help us!
Moomins come with manuals?
He was trying to win over Emmanual.
Oooooooh … got it. All is clear now.
Come on now Moomin don’t be a push-over, sheared wit is.. Eh, well… Half wit I guess. Never mind…
It looks like a special car from GTA, which you can get with a cheat. it’s amazing.
It’s only a win if it’s functional…
*POUNCE* HI!
Argh!
*falls on left wing*
Oof! Oh, hello LEILA!
Don’t break the wing. But if you do, I have some duct tape.
It’s okay, just a little bruised. How are you?
*squeeze*
I am loving life gaynorvader.
Good to hear! When did you become a carnivore though?
It all happened overnight. So, I would watch out if I were you.
Hmmm…Are you threatening to eat me?
*Looms over LEILA*
Did it sound like I was threatening you? *raises left eyebrow*
Yep!
Good morning, everyone.
*copies Leila’s eyebrow raising*
Then it’s ON! Here kitty, kitty, kitty … *salivating*
-
Hey, what are your scales made of? I am just preparing.
‘morning FSA. I am going to need help w holding gaynorvader down.
My scales are dragon scales, they are roughly three times as strong as pure titanium, but weigh only a quarter the weight, they are coveted on many planes of existence for use in armour.
*prepares for battle*
LEILA! A carnivour? What is going on here??
Is this the first sign of the apocalypse?
*places lock on gaynorv’s toe*
Now he can’t get away!
And good morning to you too, Leila.
She’s just been possessed by the spirit of an unruly tiger. I think I can exorcise her if you can get close enough to place this amulet around her neck.
*hands brewski a shiny amulet*
Why is the tiger unruly?
*spawns a bottle of pepsi*
*reaches down nonchalantly and snaps lock*
*replaces lock, but now on gaynorv’s wing*
Pesky flying fruitcake!
*Severely lacking the ability to fly right now*
O.o
I can fly?
Coooooool….
I can only assume, how else could you reach my wing.
*shows FSA picture of baby sister before she was killed by Arthur*
http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG76.jpg
I say, Gaynor, you seem to be having some problems here. Could you do with some assistance?
That would be terrific, thanks Brewski!
apparently your fruitcake even solves the problem of you not being able to fly…
I’d buy that for a dollar. Clearly a win.
Are referencing from Smash TV or Mr.Bungle or both?
Or Robocop?
The thing looks like a praying mantis with wheels.
It could be a win.
Father: Go mow the lawn!
Son: I want to ride my bicycle. I want to ride my bike.
I want to ride it where I like.
Fat Bottom Girls?
Yes, them too.
QUEEN!
I wouldn’t care to ride the Queen – I might break her.
Very envronmentally friendly….the lawnmower, not the clunker.
I’d like to think that as they cycle around they sing ‘You’ll never walk a lawn’
HAHAHA!
*roffling*
MULTI win:
-can’t run out of gas
-no need for electric
-it doubles as an exercise machine
-neighbors won’t ask to borrow it
But does it work?.
A blade of grass bends so we may
understand the complexity of life. So i say to
you walk on the grass and learn from mother
earth that all must bend to the laws of nature.
Pure gibberish. You lose an eagle.
*shoots one of the eagles and shakes 4 eagles’ hand*
You mean I can dodge bullets?
Or when I am ready I won’t have to……?
*now understands the matrix*
Thanks 5 eagles!!
I wish somebody would finally realize that this is a win.
Arthur I think the general consensus has been that it is a …..ooooohhhh sarcasm. Gotcha. *wink*
What’s a “Sars chasm”?
It’s a disease that Chinese people get when they don’t agree with the government…i think. Anyway I don’t think dragons can get it. Are you sure it’s safe for a dragon to hang out with a guy named Arthur?
Meh, he may have killed all of my sisters, but those b*&#@£es deserved it!
0h noes!!!111!!
*smashes through wall*
OH, YEAH!!!!!
Oh no!!!!! You fix that wall!!!!!
Kool-aid fruitcake? Hmm…
Yep, total win.
Does it actually work?! If yes, then that’s the most awesome win I’ve seen in a while.
Why fail?
Man thats a great idea!
FAIL!
They should have kept the bike basket to collect the cuttings.
FAIL!
There are no mudflaps on the front wheels.
*squeeze*
FAIL!
No bell to warn people on the lawn to skedaddle out the way.
*squeeze*
FAIL!
That seat doesn’t look comfy.
(I’m off again for the evening. Have a great day!)
FAIL!
It’s the completely wrong color.
FAIL!
The bike is green/camouflaged and people playing hide and seek would not see
it coming! That’s dangerous!
FAIL!
No mirrors.
FAIL!
No backseat.
FAIL!
No sparkly fringes on handles.
FAIL!
No playing card attached to the frame to whack against the wheel spokes.
FAIL!
No little basket in the middle handle bars where my 3.5lb Yorkie can be placed.
It is? I’ve never heard of it.
It is.
IT is?
I’ve never heard of Yorkie the chocolate bar. I guess we don’t have it in Canada.
Definitely
Probably another one of those Irish/English sweets so.
Not for girls
*eats a Yorkie*
A 3.5lbs one??
FAIL!
He’s prolly going to chop his fingers off attaching the bike lock. Though, safety is only 3rd.
I like the fact the Safety comment was third reply, even though you must all have been typing at the same time
I smell a conspiracy.
I’ve been co-ordinating with Fluffy and Hairy behind the FB curtain.

WIN but only if he puts a guard over the blade!
Imagine hitting a pothole and going head first over the handlebars into the (somehow…go with me on this) spinning blade, if you were lucky you would only get a bad haircut..
Who says the haircut will be bad?
I do! I do!
You have never seen the valentine fail? He probably made this, if he lands in there it can only become better.
I thought it was rhetorical…
your thoughts missed the clue.
A swing and a miss…
(Baseball, not idyllic romantic Victorian poetry)
I´d definitely call that IMPROVISATION WIN!
Much as I would love for this to be a win, since there is nothing driving the blades, it is, regrettably, fail.
It’s a push mower. the blades are driven by gears attached to the wheels on the sides.
I’d like to take this opportunity to say WOW!

6 out of 10.
That’s a shame. I always thought Jane Austen’s books were lacking in un-dead actions.
That’s just un-made my day
That’s un-derstandable. :p
un-complete is the right word for that book.
Nice p-un-s
It is a win the two front wheels drive the blades that is how those lawn mowers worked.
win
FAIL, but only because of all the tyre marks on the lawn.
yes, WIN

WIN!
Why does everybody says WIN! instead of Photoshop?
Because we don’t know how to spell
‘Photoshop’.
P-h-o-t-o-s-h-o-p
Will this be on the test?
Yes. It’s the bonus question worth 5 points.
OBVIUSS PHOTOSHOPED!!1! THE PIXELZ AND SHADOWS ALL RONG!!!11

Am i getting sentenced to death for this?
Hopefully not, but you might be re-shaved.
*helps Leila and hands brewski a tylenol*
FSA, I think Brewski is looking faint. Slap him around a couple of times.
*takes 2 advil from LEILA and fruitcake*
I’m fine, thanks. I’m more worried about Hairy, really.
Well, 1/2 his ass is bald…what do you want from him?
Riding mower WIN!!!
I would say this is deff a win!!!
Actually on closser inspection, this is so shooped.
FAIL
Oh no, you’ll be deceived.
Are u Sure?
You’re not listening to all I say.
*shoops jam*
What is shooped? I have never heard of it.
I think it means the Shoop da whoop, “Imma firin mai lazor BWAA” thing.
No, it’s a new word, I think Dawson just coined it. ^^^
Or, looking up, I think it’s a misspell for shop, or photoshop.
It’s a photoshop troll…
Aww shucks! I liked shoop as a verb!
*coughshoopsongcough*
Shoop could be a new word, I want to hear some good things that ‘shoop’ could mean
New and improved, the “Shoop” pooper-scooper for your dog! Clean, hygienic, easy to use, and now only $9.99 through this special TV offer!
Shoop = Grope?

Umm, did it have a ring to it?

It’s the ‘Shoop Shoop’ song!
Gaynorvader? you can decide who won.
I quite like the grope one; “He shooped me in the cinema!”

You’ve never mowed a lawn, hey Tim.
Um…yes…*drooling*…I will take the 3lb New York steak. Medium rare. I will also have the filet mignon drizzled w rosemary scented BaconLube. Also, please add on the side some barbequed baby back ribs. Don’t let ANY vegetables touch my meat please.

Damn! x_X
Huh? What’s going on?
*places a leaf of rhubarb on Leila’s plate*
Who put this sh*t on my plate? Take it back … it contaminated my cow.
But it didn’t touch your meat. I just placed it on your plate.
Rhubarb leaves are highly poisonous! You should be more careful!
*wags finger at FSA*
*accepts finger waving generously*
You didn’t read, eh? A 3lb New York steak! that is a plate on it’s own!
Either this is some clever reverse psychology, or the universe is about to implode again.
*feels strange uncontrollable urge to become vegan*
Eeek, this will be the third time this week the universe has imploded…
It is some clever reverse psychology. The universe lasts at least for 2 more days.
WIN!!!!
tihs actualy looks like a LOSE WIGHT WIN!!
ah I think I am gaining WIGHT lately.
You need Tom Bombadil if you want to lose a wight.
LOL I do not see a fail here son…. I see an intelligence WIN!!!!
MARIA G. FAIL!
I think this is a backyard mechanic’s version of a joke gone viral.
A nephew of mine built one of these for his grandfather.
It does not actully perform a useful function – the gear ratio of the bicycle it to low (fast) to provide enough torque, and as a result the cutting reel barely turns. The thin wheel of the bicycle also tends to dig into the soil.
SHHHH!!! Why do you want to splash these happy people with the chilling ice water of engineering reality?
Does anyone know why sofaking keeps throwing bread at me? Can someone tell him there are starving people around the world and throwing bread is just…:| … just …

LEILA! I OBJECT!!!!
Put away that vile dead animal flesh RIGHT NOW!!!!
I agree!
definitely a WIN !
Riding mower WIN!
I can make one of these. I think I shall. But I’ll attach the crank chain for the rotary blades to the same one the drives the rear wheel. So it’s never off…
Considering what I’m riding over I may add shocks and a splash guard too.
mooo cow!
Bullsh*t.
awsome lawnmower
errrr……no e.
rrrr?
Yeeesssss……
Yes. Apartment would work. Or he could get a job, move to a nice joint with a nice garden, hire a gardener, and spend the weekends with his partner up the coast, in the city, or visiting friends.
this could be an epic enviro-win! no gas for the win yay!
I DO HEREBY DECREE THAT THIS IS A WIN.
Caps lock for the win.
Literally.

a win for the green movement
Exercise win?
If that thing actually works, I’m calling it a win.
Fail… I’m just thinking all my overweight 240 pounds gets distributed much more evenly on the John Deere rider than it would on that back bicycle tire. I bet I’d ruin my lawn in a month.
What a great idea, make people exercise more
I fought the lawn and the lawn won.
fail blog fail, clearly a win! where can I order one?
That is not fail. That is pure genius at work.
How in the world is this a fail? This is a win! I want one
That is most definitely a lawn mower WIN!
and I want one.
I don’t think it’s *quite* a fail. I think it’s a terrific idea, however, I think turning might be a problem….
I believe these are part of the Waxman-Markey Bill. I can feel the planet cooling already.
Holly crap! If I woulda known that could get posted, I coulda showed you one long ago. There is one of these sitting down at the redlight by the Vaccum Cleaner Shop here where I live.!
EPIC WIN!!!!!!!
I beg to differ, that is not a fail that is completely FTW!! lol
Big fat WIN! That idea is awesome if it works decently.
1′d for being a win
Another Straight Story remake then eh?
Uhh, where’s the fail? This looks like a brilliant idea.
The real fail here is that the kickstand is down. Have you ever seen a tricycle with a kickstand?
Rode one of these at Maker Faire Austin in 2007. Well, tried to ride it anyway. Doesn’t ride worth s***, but it was cool idea anyway. Check out http://www.cyclecide.com to see the mower bike as well as many of their other bike/nonbike hybrids.
this is an epic win of ingenuity!!!!
Dear Failblog: please stop labeling “WIN” as “FAIL” Thank you.
That’s a good idea, not a fail ¬_¬
lawnmower win surely
I’d five-thumb this one if it were captioned “WIN”.
WIN!
Weight loss win.
What are you talking about? this is definitely a WIN!
ummm where can i get one of these? i kinda want one
WIN OH SO WIN!!
Lawnmower…………………..FAIL
Laziness……………………….WIN
Failblog FAIL.
This is a win. No question about it.
fail? I’d call that an epic win right there
Fail!? NOOOOO – that’s a win if ever I saw one… even if it doesn’t work. That’s just plain genius. I think FailBlog just failed.
That’s Lawnmower WIN to me!
i think this is more of a win than a fail.
I give it a triple win! A) Its environmentally friendly. B) It’ll save you a heck of a lot of time. C) It’s just COOL!
Maybe a safety fail, but definitely lawnmower win.
No way that’s a win. Back then they did that very often because I don’t think there was such thing as a riding lawn mower (You know the ones you drive). anyway it’s a win
This is not a FAIL.
it looks like it works to me.
total win!
i think this is more of a lawnmower win lol!
xD
Sir, that is very much a WIN.
Seriously how many times does WIN need to be said? Really? just look at the first freaking 15 posts you don’t have to contribute your 2 cents on every single fail.
Well the first 15 posts – hell, sometimes the first 15 pages – usually belong to the offtopic thread. People get tired of reading that and just go ahead and say what they wanna say. Also, if Failblog falsely represents a WIN as FAIL, people feel the need to express that their opinion is different.
Also, this is a WIN.
whatver u say if its work its the best invent of the world
Absolute WIN.
WIN.
DON’T. SHOW. THIS. TO. MY. HUSBAND. Ever. Please.
Are you kidding? Epic, epic win. Awesome! What a great idea.
Except it would put undue pressure on the mower that might gouge your lawn. You’d have to absolutely not lean on the handlebars. And you’d have to pedal slowly….which might make you fall over.
Better make it with a tricycle. That’d be more stable.
LMAO! Fail? I call that “Eco-Friendly Riding Mower Win!”
This bike is def. an epic win.
THIS IS A WIN!!!
Needs a larger rear sprocket. In fact, the gear ratio could be opposite of the usual one. So far this is a machine of impossible exercise. Compare an old-fashioned bicycle with a contemporary MTB that has a granny gear: only the latter allows slow-speed, large-force jobs.
Lawnmower… more like LAWLMOWER
This is a total win, only the failed would fail it.
This is win.
At least its original
Ingenuity win! It’s pretty redneck, but in a neat way.
This might just be a win…
win
I think it’s a lawnmower win.
Going green win, at least.
ok nice good
I say this is a WIN!
That’s a WIN. The FAIL is on you. Again.
I think that that’s more of a win than a fail
WIN!!
That looks like an exceptional (technical) modification of a 1950s Raleigh Superbe. Is it?
I’d say that’s a win
That’s a win. That rocks.
Iths more a win
I would say win, but whatever
How is this not a WIN?!?!?!
It’s definately a win. The word fail are not funny, the fail itself is funny. Such stuff shouldn’t be posted.
this is brilliant I want one.
This look pretty win to me
if you guys think about it thats a very good (and dangerous…haha) idea u work out and cut the grass (or somthing else)
I’m givin’ it a win.
Would love to see a video of this if only to settle the fail/win debate. And yeah, I’ve used a reel mower before and agree that the first piece of debris you hit would send you over the handlebars. And steering would be a bear. Maybe the front tire should be left on, with the mower mounted in front of that with some sort of setup for raising the mower up (like the ever-dependable low-tech piece of rope rigged to an oversized fishing-rod-type reel? You could reel in the reel…)
Personally I’m not convinced that it’s a fail, but neither is it a win. It’s a…SCHWINN! (forgive me, but it had to be said.) And if someone else said it first, I apologize but I didn’t wade through all 400+ comments before posting…
This is such a WIN, dudes.
Redneck engineering win?
Failmower!
If it works, I’d call that a WIN!
WIN!!! it should be on jeff foxwarthy
lawz o physics sez thatz nota guna work.
Yeah, I’m sorry, but this is a definite win. Hell, I think I might even upgrade my bike[I don't have a lawn, but the sidewalks are awfully crowded on campus].
more like efficiency win
This is so a win
That’s not a fail, that’s just awesome.
fail? how is this a fail more like EPIC WIN!!!
never saw such a WIN! lol.
That’s a win.
Crap I misspelled my name in the last comment!
How is this a fail?
It’s a win.
lol if it works its epic. It’s good for the environment!
I Just Ran Over someone!
Lawn mower WIN
DEF WIN!
That is win
WIN WIN WIN
i think the biggest fail is in the fact that it has a kickstand. wtf?
whatever works, that’s what i say.
HA. Love it. Found more here: http://dadpages.com/content/12-lawn-mowers-fail-awesome-grass-wont-cut-itself
