    That's very impressive, especially the ratchet. I'd love to see it run, although it can't have much durability.

    wow. i've seen plenty of wooden framed bikes but nothing like that. it's both very clever and very stupid at the same time, which i like.

    Good on him. Impressive that it even has a freewheel.

    As others have mentioned, there are actually wooden framed bikes that are actually practical (Calfee's bamboo frames in particular.)
