The cardboard bicycle

[Doru]

Looks like the bike is not going to be the most expensive piece of equipment anymore …

Izhar Gafni is reinventing the two-wheeler. The Israeli mechanical engineer wowed the opening-day audience Wednesday at Moses Znaimer’s ideacity with his 28-pound (less than 13 kilograms) cardboard bike. Waterproof, rust-proof, made of renewable and recycled resources such as paper, plastic bottles and car tires, and able to support a rider 20 times its weight, Gafni’s invention costs about $9 to build.

I would think that the pulleys and toothed belt would cost more than $9 alone.
