I am totally into recycling, but the idea of making a bicycle from cardboard seems a little . . . flimsy. Via Gizmodo comes news of a cardboard bike created across the pond:

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.

I would like to suggest the creation of a bike from a common product that is recycled that might hold up to weather conditions a bit better - a bike made from a common item recycled in my household, beer cans. If someone believes strongly in my idea and needs help, I volunteer to assist in draining the contents of the cans.
