    And now presenting… the wooden bicycle

    Not mine, but one made by some a "Timber Technology" student in Germany named Jans Eichler. He made the bicycle frame from Beech Plywood. Check it out:

    Screws are kinda like knots, if you can't use the right one, use lots of 'em.
    The greatest tragedy in life is the gruesome murder of a beautiful theory by a brutal gang of facts.

    400 hrs to make it. Well he can be sure he's got the only one on the streets anyway. Neat stuff.

    I've been fascinated with wooden bicycles for years. It would combine my passions. There are quite a few out there. A wooden bike is on my list of things to make, but it's so far down the list, I doubt I'll ever get there.
