Yojiro Oshima’s Beautifully Sculpted Bicycle is Made Almost Entirely From Wood

It’s a beautiful thing.

Those cranks definitely appear to be metal.

Could somebody explain to me what the point of it is?

clips and reflectors are odd.

Does it actually need to have ‘a point’? It’s a design project by a student, and I think it’s quite remarkable that someone just tried to do it and was, by the look of it, successful.

As a study in workmanship with wood its amazing. But as a bike I find it grotesque. Design for design’s sake.

no front brake and the rear isn’t attached!

😯

Depends whether it’s supposed to be a bike or just a design statement to be hung on the wall.

Though I am impressed that it “features a sculptural wooden frame that softens the ride while retaining an optimal level of stiffness”

it ll look grubby as anything in no time
needs a good coat o’varnish

As a study in CNC router programming it’s completely mundane… 😯
