recycled bike can bounce up and down using opposing magnets instead of springs

The first ride of the recycled bike with magnets fails because the frame flex overwhelms the system. The magnets work, but the ride itself does not. The content creator realizes that the issue is not magnet strength but the geometry and load paths. So for the second frame, he built it from thicker stainless steel tubing with reinforced joints. Cables are added to control separation when the bike is lifted, and each change responds to a specific failure observed during use.
