SHIT, I MADE TWO OF 'EM...SO WHAT





Well I'll be dipped in shit if them there motherfuckin kids ain't gettin smarter and smarter...

16 year-old Marco Facciola built this completely wooden bike for a school project, managing to avoid using any metal at all. Yes...this wooden wheeled wonder even has a chain and gearing made of wood, held together with wooden joints and glue. The detail in the free-wheeling ratchet and spacers between the chain links, pinned with tiny dowels, is amazing. Marco had to complete this as a non-academic project for his International Baccalaureate, and inspiration came from his grandfather, forced to make wooden wheels for his bike during the war due to rubber shortages.

Now Marco...hear me out...so I've got this super cool flaming bike jump lined up, and all I need...is to borrow your shit...No, no, no...I need yours, I don't think mine will burn right...and I kinda think yours would get more air...just sayin...don't be a dick, its not like I won't give it back.
