Very cool use of materials. I could totally see this mass produced for children learning how to ride bikes and even cities testing out the "share-a-bike" program.
- quantumhobbit 14y agoI immediately thought of some sort of share a bike program or better yet disposable bikes. For $20 visitors to a city could buy a bike ride it for a week or so then recycle the cardboard, assuming the cardboard is recyclable after whatever treatments it goes through. Although I doubt the $20 estimate without a way to automate production. The video made it seem like a fairly labor intensive practice.
- ramchip 14y agoBut... why not just lend regular, cheap bikes and reuse them? Reuse is a lot less expensive than recycling. I visited a city last week (Matsumoto) that has this service, they lend cheap city bikes for free by the day. Not even an ID card needed, you just write your name and phone number and go. It's a fantastic service when visiting.
