Have You Ever Heard Of A Bicycle Made Out Of Cardboard

Seriously, I didn't believe it at first. This morning as I was watching some videos on SB to get more points, I came across one that was showing a bike made out of cardboard. It seems pretty unbelievable at first that one can ride that kind of bike and not crash it right away. So I went to YouTube to get the address of the video so you too can see it. It was made by Izhar Gafni, and he is sure pride of himself and he should be! Hard to believe but a true story!

What happens if you ride in the rain, I wonder? I have a lot of boxes, I wonder if there's a video on how to build a car from cardboard?

@bookbar Here is a real cardboard plane, and it flies!

That is pretty awesome! But you probably couldn't ride it in the rain, although it's faster than my car most likely lol

I think it has been treated to make it waterproof

I think you can ride it in the rain as it looks like it has a coating.

I saw on the video where he made a boat or canoe as well. I think it's amazing.

They make cabinets out of particle board and they last for a lot of years. I will go and look at the video now.

@marlina I know I love it. It is amazing and there is so many free patterns out there now that are open source that you can integrate with the printers.
