We’ve seen a lot of wooden bicycles over the years, as well as bikes made of bamboo. Most have truly been impressive, but the concept bicycle from Yojiro Oshima, a student at Tokyo’s Musashino Art University, might be the most extraordinary wooden bike we’ve seen.
Whereas most wooden bikes are simple double diamond designs that evoke a traditional European touring bicycles, this one has a natural flow in its lines. With everything – including the wheels – made of wood except for the drive train, brakes and tires, it almost seems like something that could have been grown. The bike has an organic look through and through. While Pinocchio may have became a real boy from wood, this is in fact a real bike that just happens to be made of wood.
