Holy cr@p! This zombie attack bike is powered by a chainsaw

I'm sorry, did you think I meant a chainsaw motor? I suppose that's understandable (after all, two-stroke chainsaw engines are often used to convert bicycles into rear-wheel-drive motorbikes), but I didn't say chainsaw motor, did I? I said chainsaw. Because whoever pieced together this unholy death machine has clearly left the power source attached to a number of other components. They've even opted for a FWD conversion so that the saw's guide blade and cutting chain could be front-mounted.

100% terrifying, 100% brilliant. Perfect for plowing through hordes of the undead or cruising the wastelands of post-apocalyptia. Now, if you'll excuse me, I find that I am overcome by a desire to don football pads and spend the weekend watching the Mad Max trilogy on repeat.

Hey, the fact that it’s a girl’s bike makes it all the more cooler.

There were a few times when a girl’s bike would have made my crashes much less painful. That bar on a boy’s bike can be a real ball breaker.

Interesting, but I still go for the flamethrowers.

Gatlings. There is just no situation that they don't make more fun.

Just great. Run you bike into a zombie and then have him flailing away at your face and stuck on the front of your bike. It sounds like a one and done and now a zombie two plan.

Some Turd World savage didn’t know that chainsaw is an antique and worth enough to buy a real motorcycle if offered on craigslist.com

I never did figure that one out from a practical standpoint. I can dig the whole 'feminine sensibilities' angle, but they might was well have factored a row of sharpened gutter spikes into the design of those old 'boy's' 10-speed and spider bikes. They were enough to make your voice go through puberty twice in one childhood.
