How To Turn A Lighter Into A Lightercycle

As hard as it is to believe, what you’re looking at is a before and after. Because inside every cheap plastic lighter, there’s a kickass mini motorcycle yearning for the open road. Here’s how to set yours free.

Now, a bit of a warning: it’s not a totally easy conversion, and the instructions? Well, they’re in Chinese. But! Just follow the pictures, and you should be OK. Probably. Maybe.

If there was ever a rock-solid motivator to quit smoking, it’s so that you can use all those old fire starters to start a dirtbike ralley. [Reddit via The Daily What]

    The title should be:

    How To Turn Two Lighters Into A Lightercycle

    because the instructions clearly mention that you need two lighters.

    What type of thought process leads to “I’m going to invent a way to make a motorcycle out of 2 lighters”?!. I’m guessing someone discovered this while very bored in jail.
