Farmer uses ingenious 'bike' to climb up a tree, amuses Twitter

Screengrab from the video

When it is about jugaad, there is no dearth of talent in India. A video went viral on social media reminds how jugaad is intrinsically linked to Indians.

A Twitter user recently shared a video of a man using a bike-like machine to climb up a tree. The man, who appears to be a farmer in Kerala, has created a device that lets him climb coconut trees easily. The video is a portrayal of an ingenious creation.

The video which was shared by the user had a funny caption that reads "When you want to be a bike racer but become a farmer due to parental pressure."

As seen in the video, the man sits on the bike-like device and presses the accelerator. The machine goes up the tree thus making it easy for him to pick coconuts. The device, much like our cars, has a reverse mechanism as that brings the man down from the tree in a well-controlled motion.

After the video went viral, netizens were in awe of the creation. They appreciated this innovation.

Some took hilarious routes to appreciate the farmer.

Traditionally, in India, the plantation farmers tie ropes around their feet to climb the coconut or arecanut trees, without any safety equipment.
