Bike completely made of wood

[Buck Masterson]

This was made completely of wood by a 15 year old kid. I'm impressed, but not sure I would want to ride it. lol

Thats pretty freaking cool. I think I would have shaped up the frame a little better and glued rubber to the rim to smooth out the ride some.

I think I saw that on the kid's game show "Figure it Out". Dude has some woodworkin' SKILLZ! :shock: -Adam

That is cool but I'd have made groves for tires to go over the wood rims.

I am not doubting the kid, it's a cool creation and at his age and skill level if he avoids drugs and keeps marching to the beat of his own drum he will create more and better things, but I think the the people recording the story made a mistake or are just exaggerating:

65-pound bike out of a single sheet of plywood. With a material cost of just $20,

Where can you get 1 piece of plywood for $20 that weighs 65 pounds not including the leftovers? :?
