Cardboard: Innovative Material to be Used in the Production of Bikes and Kayaks

Wait...what?!


No, this is not an early April Fools post, and that was exactly our reaction when this was brought to our attention. A cardboard kayak. Hmm, sounds like a kid's weekend project that would meet very limited success, but a bike? Really?

Check out this article about the cardboard kayak building competition: http://www.canoekayak.com/canoe/cardboard/

And the bikes, somehow even more impressive: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/15/cardboard-bicycle-izhar-gafni-inventor_n_1966166.html


True, the kayaks seem to serve the purpose of a fun challenge rather than something you will soon be seeing in our showroom, but it sounds as though there may actually be plans for mass production of the bikes. Of all the high tech innovations we have witnessed this year, this is certainly the most interesting. Take a peak for yourself!
