Personally, I wouldn’t be caught dead—ha ha, get it?—towing a trailer with a bike. But I’ll acknowledge they could come in handy, and I think this repurposed casket is the coolest one I’ve seen. But what do you think?
First, I don’t want anyone thinking I’m laughing at the fact some dude in the Netherlands got his bike ripped off. They used to shoot horse thieves, and I think sometimes the old ways are best. And while I will admit a morbid fascination with seeing bikes—and cars, and buildings, and basically anything not sentient—in […] More »

They’re coming—and probably sooner than you think. I’ve talked with some Audi engineers who told me that 80% or so of the hardware needed to make the current models drive themselves was already on the current models.
