Low cost Design: the cheap and ecological cardboard bicycle
The cardboard bicycle would not cost the environment a penny as it is entirely recycled; the manufacturer would need just 9 dollars whilst the purchaser would have to fork out 60 (this is a project looking for financial backers).
The businessperson has done his sums well with his target and with the problem of a large metropolis: bicycle thieves. His intention is to fight the problem from its origin: why steal a bike that is worth nothing!
The inventor, Izhar Gafni, is a former soldier and as a good strategist, has thought of everything: the bicycle is light, resistant (it can carry up to 140kg) and enamelled in order to make it resistant to water and humidity. Its vintage design is what gives it the edge, increasing its intrinsic value and appealing to taste. It has already become a cult object as to flaunt it would be really cool and would have us believe that once on the market it really will be a steal!
