Cardboard Bike Is a ‘Game Changer’ in Africa

15th October 2012

Read it.

 Izhar Gafni, 50, is an expert in designing automated mass-production lines. He is an amateur cycling enthusiast who for years toyed with an idea of making a bicycle from cardboard.

He told Reuters during a recent demonstration that after much trial and error, his latest prototype has now proven itself and mass production will begin in a few months.

Bonus points if you can determine what ‘game’ is ‘changing’ here.

    Put pneumatic tires on it, and I’d buy one. (I’ve ridden on solid tires before–not recommended.)
    I particularly like the idea of using a timing belt instead of a chain.
