Cardboard Bicycle for 30 Bucks!

If you ride in the rain, we don’t recommend the DIY Cardboard bicycle that costs $30 to make but if you do live in a hot country, this cardboard bicycle might save you some dollars and help re-use some of that leftover cardboard.

The frame, made out of cardboard normally used in industrial packaging, could be produced for as little as £3.

Once the wheels and chain had been added the total price might rise to only £15.

Foam Car built by a Luthuanian!

A Lithuanian builds a car from scratch using polyurethane foam.  It’s an amazing work of an art.  Perhaps he did it because foam weighs less than other meterials?

The car is probably not your daily driver but still, with the 30″ chrome wheels, you can at least look good in it.
