DIY Amphibious Bicycle Made from Recycled Water Gallons


Li Jin has designed this ingenious human-powered bicycle, with which she rides on the water in Wuhan of Hubei Province in China.

The DIY amphibious bicycle is made using eight water gallons, which are closed on top to serve as pontoons preventing Li from drowning. Adjustable vane wheels provide the driving power. Apart from allowing Li to cross the lake, the bicycle can also be used on the road without any modifications.
