Dravin Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) I wonder if you'll see some of the bike rental places at tourist traps (the non-mountainous ones) start offering these. Edited October 15, 2012 by Dravin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anddenex Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I remember watching the video regarding the entrepreneur who is initiating this product. It seems very interesting, and for college students this could be a great, inexpensive, way for travel to and from school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightSG Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Cardboard bicycle can change the world, says Israeli inventor - Yahoo! NewsSounds great for third-world countries, but I just can't see a solid-tired single-speed catching on too well in any developed country. Pneumatic tires and derailleurs were invented for a reason.Ditch the secrecy and open-source it, and people will build them by the ton.
