Bicycles are amazing machines. Be it for fun, exercise, low cost commutes and travel. At the dawn of the 1900's they served as the technical foundation of the modern automobiles and now businesses use them for green transportation. Some however, want to take that going green to a new level, and are making durable bikes out of recycled paper, cardboard and plastics. While this CNN video is from 2013, towards the initial development of these cardboard bikes, the developers of these recycled bikes are still at it, and earlier this year tried to use Kickstarter to take their dream bike to commercial markets. While they didn't meet their goals, its interesting to see their development timeline. We've talked some about how long it takes to develop a product, they've been at this one for over 4 years!
