15-year-old Collin Graver was bored with his physics homework and ended up building a 65-pound bike out of a single sheet of plywood. With a material cost of just $20, the Avondale Estates, Georgia teen used his talents to construct the working wooden bike in his father's basement workshop. While the bike is rigid and has no brakes, Graver says, "The point is, it's cool.".

    DOH! You beat me to it.

    Sweet ride. This homeschooled kid combined two of my passions, bikes & plywood. A shifting relay would have been the trifecta!

    Erco, I don't think it's possible to build plywood relays.
