wooden bicycle "Leonardo Da Vinci"

Not only looks great, I love to see young people interested in working with their hands.

Welcome to LJ’s

-- Mother Nature created it, I just assemble it. - It's not ability that we often lack, but the patience to use our ability

welcome to Lj’s..great first project to share.

-- We call the destruction of replaceable human made items vandalism, while the destruction of irreplaceable natural resources is called development.

This program looks like a very good one for the teenagers and this looks like a very cool project.

Interesting that Leonardo put the drivetrain on the left side and all bikes today have it on the right side. Not sure I could handle the Ardennes or the cobbles at Flanders on this saddle though…:-)

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hats off you you and your class.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................................Jim

I really like it. The design looks a little weak on the horizontal piece between the tires, but I guess all the weight is on the back wheel so it may not matter.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. Looks like a nice group of young men with a talent for woodworking. Those
metal rims might get a little noisy on cobblestones, and that leather drive belt with the dowel type cogs is
quite good. It may not ride as smooth as an Achielle, but it is definitely in a class of its own. Thank you for
sharing.

This project not only teaches the students woodworking, but also wood science. What they learn from this bicycle is what they can apply to other projects. This is cool!

Video please!

Nice bike. Maybe you can Tom Boonen to give it a ride or maybe Sven Nys or the Cannibal? ;)
