Here’s a a great way to recycle your cardboard, Phil Bridge, a design student from Sheffield has come up with a unique solution to the problem that a bicycle is stolen in England every 71 seconds. Make a bike that’s so cheap no one will want to nick it. So this clever boy designed and built a bike for the grand total of £20!
The bicycle is made from hexacomb board, a more structurally stable form of cardboard which is waterproof. The tires, chain and brakes are still the same metal and rubber components as any other bike.
He’s hoping to get a sponsor for to turn his bike into an actual product and I hope he does cause I wouldn’t mind trying it out!
