Who’d a thunk? Just add a 15 pound Porsche flywheel and you can turn your old Bridgestone into a Prius! Video after the jump! Via Jalopnik

Wear a Helmet
This weekend my friend’s roommate crashed his brakeless fixie and went down on his helmetless head. The Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles put 65 stitches into his forehead alone. Another 20 or so went into his face. Wear a helmet. Brakes are a good idea, too. Don’t be a fashion victim.
Don’t Litter
Or the bunny will get you…
Sprinting Fail
This happened during a sprint finish in the 2010 Tour of Switzerland. That’s Mark Cavendish with his wheel folding under him. Video after the jump!
Skinsuit Fail
This guy is a legend. He’s almost as cool as the Lampre guy.
Drunk Stair Fail
Don’t try to ride your bike down the stairs in your apartment while drunk. It won’t end well.
Electric Bike Burnout Fail
My friend Jen went to the Dead Baby Downhill in Seattle last weekend and snapped this pic of someone attempting to do a burnout with an electric bike. I don’t think beer works as well as bleach. Lots more pics of tall bikes, hipsters and fire after the jump!
Tall Bike Fail
Before you get on a bike and start riding, it helps to know how to stop and get off.
Naked Bike Fail
In addition to preventing some nasty chafing, clothing actually provides some protection when you fall. Via sidiergo.com
