This Is Cardboard. Also Entirely Recycled, Water and Fireproof, and Dirt Cheap.

• http://www.commondreams.org, by Abby Zimet
 After four years of tinkering based on the principles of origami, Israeli amateur inventor and bike freak Izhar Gafni has crafted the greenest transportation ever - a $20 bike made of recycled packaging cardboard, with recycled rubber wheels, treated with non-toxics to render it immune to both water and fire. Production is slated to begin soon, with kids' bikes and wheelchairs right behind.
