    British inventor Colin Furze has made a name for himself with his crazy inventions and now, he's created something perfect for people living in cooler climates.

    (And by "perfect" we mean completely and utterly pointless).

    Furze fitted a bicycle with a pair of ice tires -- which sounds like a neat idea, but they don't perform well in real life conditions.

    In fact, on hilly surfaces, they don't perform at all.

    Furze takes his bike for a spin on several different terrains, including an ice rink and a glacier.

    Spoiler: It doesn't go very well.

    Still, Fruze's ice bike is funny to watch in action.
