I admire this very German sense of engineering and ingenuity. How-to hacks and mods tend to have a fast and international provenance. Very gratifying to witness a 'regional' how-to sensibility. That is also the reason why I love the classic automobile hack: https://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-diy-redneck-roller-coaster-90384/
I totally need one of these, I've had so many bikes stolen it ain't funny.
