Cardboard Bicycle Could Change The World

(Photo from Irish Times)

Continuing on the rampant bike theme...I like everything about this bike. It's super cheap ($20) and made from recycled materials. When it wears out, you can turn it back in to recycle it into another bike! …

Bike of the Day {BotD} ::: Independent

BotD :::: Independent, Eric's

They do some absolutely amazing animations and games, and the music accompanying is fun, too. I keep thinking of them, then forgetting their name and losing contact with the site.

It's fun to watch "Field Guide to Snapping" and "…
