22 year old builds a human-powered bicycle "elevator"

[Cicero]

Not sure if any of you guys get the gizmag newsletter, but this was pretty rad. It just reminds me that I dont do enough cool shit in my life though

Ethan Schlussler, 22, from Sandpoint, Idaho has built his very own human powered elevator as a means to gain access to his recently constructed treehouse. Schlussler came up with the idea of converting an old bicycle and pulley system into an elevator when he was searching for a faster alternative to using a ladder to get up to his 28 foot (8.5 meter) high abode.

I was like: I can do that!
But when I followed the link and realized that it's actually someone doing something cooler than I am again
