My father had a wooden car once.

Wooden wheels, wooden seats, wooden chassis - even a wooden engine.

Only problem was ------ it wooden go.

Years and years ago, before mountain bikes were even invented, one of the Dark Side magazines did a feature on a road bike made by an Italian craftsman made entirely out of wood, and I mean entirely, even down to the rivets in the chain, spokes and cable operated brakes and gears.
