Reminds me of the time when I was about 10 and the pedal on my Schwinn 24" middle weight (middle weight Schwinn? wuwt?) broke and I found the only tools in the house (a hack saw and a 12" crescent wrench) and made the repair with a length of threaded rod. Worked fine for about a mile and then I got my butt kicked for destroying my shoe.
