Have you ever seen a wooden bike?

Hi williamjisir, thanks for such an interesting sharing. The old man is very ambitious and have strong will to realize his visualization, even at his age. By riding on this bicycle, he can have his own transport at very low cost and got the opportunity to exercise more. Besides, it serves as an amusement for the kids in the town too. In the photo, we can see that he is very happy and contented with his achievement. Hope this will encourage more people to do things on themselves, thus saving the environment by reducing pollution. Happy posting and have a nice day!

Actually, I have and seen wooden bikes shown on television too.. here in our country.. Banaue Region of the Philippines.

I believe that they are popular in Holland too. The kids use them to train on. I remember my hubby showing me one he found online.

Hi jisir, I have seen bike made of other materials and this is the first time I see such a unique wooden bike. It looks more like a toy than an actual bike, no wonder so many kids chasing happily after him whenever he has fun riding on it along the street. I believe it’s rather tedious to ride on it as the wheels are small and the petals are directly attached to the front wheel with poor mechanical advantage. Anyway it’s a good form of exercise by riding it and environmental friendly as well. I respect this old man for his creativity and perseverance to finish such a difficult task in his senior age. posting and have a nice day.

no i have not seen it.it must be very unique as well. so the kids follow him. its nice invention from his part.

Hi W.J.S....No I have never seen a wooden bike which actually can be driven around..Thanks for the pic and the information....I really appreciate the work of the 80 year old man,for he must have put in lot of hard work to shape and mouldit.And he msue be enjoying all the attention and admiration he gets from the kids and grown ups alike.......Hats off to him.... And during this time of turmoil in the world economy,not to mention the oil crisis we are facing,I wont be surprised if he starts getting patents for his work.......And good luck to him.....

His bike is child size, so kids would like to take a ride. It doesn't look like fancy but probably eco-friendly and not expensive to make.

nope havent seen one except this link today...well great!!! no metal component and its possible...looks like a toy too but bigger...well i hope it will be available in our marketso that i can try on..and find out what is like to ride in a wooden bike

That is something different from everybody. That is the first time I have seen a wooden bike. what I usually see is wooden horse of and the likes.

Now that was something that I didn't think was possible. But it was nice to know that this old man made his own bike. He used all the resources that he had around him to make his bike and that is really nice. I know that he made sure that he had his transportation to get around. He might not have wanted to walk so he made his own bike. There is nothing wrong with that. People might laugh but they may wish that they had one of those wooden bikes too. Who knows this man might end up getting orders from people that want him to build a bike for them too. When you think about it, you don't have to worry about the tires getting flat that is for sure. It could be the next big thing for those that don't have a lot of money to spend on the good bikes. Who know but I know that was a real smart thing to do. Building a wooden bike. That is so cool, have a good one.

No, I have seen a wooden chair that reminds me of this. I know that Chinese people usually ride things as this in China.. And Japan. I have not seen this so far in real life... I may have seen it on a movie or so..

No, I never seen a wooden bike in my Country and it is very rare to have one in here or should I say it is not applicable here in Kuwait for it is very Hot one and i heard that China is one of the good weather in the Country and for sure your place has a lot of bicycle to ride but I do hear in the news that you will have a jeepney so soon in the Country......

That is really cool. I guess he is getting the attention he intended!! Good for him! I wonder if the seat is comfortable. OH MY I hope he doesn't get slivers from the seat!!!! (sometimes I can think of the weirdest things late at night!!)

No... no I have never seen a wooden bike... until now! So I guess... yes I have seen one. Hmm is this a trick question? You show me a wooden bike... then ask if I have ever seen one?!!

It really makes funny to me.Is it true.If it succeeded than they won't be any air pollution around the world and we can reduce the globe warming too. Nice information Have a nice day

What a great idea! It's not far off from the various toddler riding "bikes" and such that we can buy in plastic, but that used to be made from wood years ago. It's just in adult size. Very cute indeed!

hahaha!! that was cool!!! I can imagine the kids running following the man with a wooden bike? what a site!! I enjoyed the photo. You can never do that riding like that kind of bike here in roads of America.. Well, maybe in the country road but not in the highway.

Hello Oh ! Nope I have never seen a wooden bike, nor Have I ever seen anyone ride one . That would be cool to see , and I think I would have watched the man ride it as well . Thanks for the picture that is neat =) Have a good day !

Yes and it 'wooden go'. Only joking. Good link. I checked it out there. I saw some wooden bikes in a museum once. They where made over one hundred years ago, but I am sure they have been made long before that. These bikes must be low on costs too. Thanks for sharing. The kids seem fascinated with the old mans bicycle.

no, but I would like to see one
