Portable bike for your next RV trip? This would be very cool!

Okay, this wins the coolest bike contest! With this this very portable bicycle along on your next RV adventure, short trips from the campground will be a snap. And don't worry about installing a big ol' bike rack -- just collapse this bicycle and store it just about anywhere. Oh. . . the only problem with this bicycle is its price tag: $5,400. Ouch!

Another stupid RV trick

We showed you a home video version of this daredevil attempt before, but this short segment from a TV show explains more about what happened when an RVer in an old motorhome tried to jump the crest of a hill. The outcome doesn't appear too bad, except to the rig which is totaled. But as the announcer explains, the damage to the driver was far worse.

The video quality here is far from perfect, but it's fascinating to hear these RVers explain their lives on the road and how they have adapted their RVs to fit their lifestyle.
