Today we have an amazing idea of an Engineer named,Izhar Gafni an Israeli.In 2009 While working on a boring project of machine that extracts seed from pomegranates.While sitting in a library and thinking of different thoughts,his mind stuck to his favourite hobby-cycling. He was an admirer of the bikes made from sustainable bamboo, but the cost was too damn high.So he thought of making it least expensive.Therafter he came up with an idea of Cardboard Cycle.He spent Two years in making cardboard as strong as to handle the human weight.Honeycomb structure enables it to be a strong body to withstand heavy weight.So he tried to convert the hooneycomb strucure into bicycle components.
This hard labor proved fruitful when he emerged victorious with a single
speed bicycle. The spokes, rims and the frame is made of cardboard .The paper is protected from moisture using varnish. Old car tires are
used as puncture proof wheels for this bicycle. Furthermore, he used a
car’s timing belt as a chain and pedal cranks were created from plastic
bottles.and then he came up with a prototype Alfa-a 28 pound prototype which accomodate weight 20 times as of its weight.
Izhar Gafni decided to sold it for no more than $30 as the cost for its Manufacturing is not more than $9.Engr. Gafni has plans to put two models to mass production; one for adult and one for children.
