Cardboard is the new carbon fiber.

A 21-year-old student from the UK has designed a cardboard bicycle that he has dubbed “the ultimate green machine.” Supporting anyone up to 168 pounds, the frame, which costs around $6 to make, is made from the cardboard used in industrial packaging, whilst the wheels and chain are standard bike issue, and will cost around $24.

Phil Bridge, who is studying Industrial Design, came up with the idea as he was researching reasons why people don’t use pedal power to get around town. “A typical round town bike can cost several hundred pounds,” says Mr Bridge. “That’s a large investment for people who aren’t sure whether they will use it. The idea of cardboard is to completely devalue the bike”.

The bike is still at prototype stage, and Mr Bridge says he still needs to finalize the design. “The prototype does work but it is still quite limited and there are a few problems,” he says. Rain, however, is not one of them, he claims.

I met Jordan Hufnagel at the NAHBS and not only was he a really nice guy, his frames were some of the nicest lugged frames at the show. If you don’t know, now you know.

Noon Tricks

Saw this over at the 100% hardcore X diary aka Kyochi’s blog. Those guys really know how to get creative on their bikes. I really like the excitement of the crowd during the best trick comp and how they took time to celebrate after every trick. Just another reason I want to ride in Japan.

Hip-Hop’s Most Ridiculous Chains

The Urban Dictionary defines a chain as:

A rapper’s source of power. The sunlight to his birdman. Without a chain of platinum/gold/diamonds/bo nes, a rapper loses his ability to drop tight flows over phat beats. The is an absolute necessity, and its importance should not be taken lightly.

Ludacris once said, “Some people ask why there’s a skull on my chain, it’s ’cause I LOVE gettin’ head.”
