Cardboard Bicycle


Image from CNET.

Regular metal bicycles are already an eco-friendly means of going from Point A to Point B but people are still searching for ways to make it even friendlier. First there were the bamboo bicycles, which apparently were already a thing in Vietnam decades ago. Now, a lot of folks are into bamboo rides.

An Israeli enthusiast just upped the ante with a bicycle largely made of recycled cardboard. Remember those  cardboard packaging that came with large ticket items such as refrigerators? Well, they have some cool use now aside from being temporary beds for fido. The cardboard bicycle is said to cost less than USD10.00. Is it too much to hope that the design be turned open source or at least be made available at little cost?
