boy, 16, builds bicycle entirely out of wood

I came across this while I was looking for examples of "pimped" bicycle trailers. I guess it is the ultimate in sustainable transport!

This 16 year old built an entire bicycle out of wood - including a wooden chain, and a ratchet system so he can go downhill without having to pedal. It is very cool, and the workmanship alone deserves kudos.



And I refuse to mention the old joke about a wooden bicycle, with wooden wheels, a wooden saddle and wooden chain - it wooden go.
