Duct tape to build a tandem? They should call it "The Darwinizer"

I wouldn't ride that thing.

As someone who has been seeing the various bike mods, and being jealous because I do not know how to weld, this mod was great timing! I'm a big fan of duct tape too, I've got a roll under my desk, a roll in my truck, and roll in my apartment. You never know :)
Thanks for posting this one.

Jovino, I believe you are mistaken. That is most definitely a beer pong table.

cyenobite, you've got a truck so you're tough enough to learn to weld. Trust me, it's easy! Do it!
