The wooden bicycle has been used for hundred of years in China. The only replacement parts are the tires and the crank. Very environmental friendly. :)

Hundreds of years? Damn, they invented the chain before we did? ;)
Nice bike though. Looks... chunky!

It would make a great scraper bike. Maybe start out with some wheels from an old circus wagon.
