Chinese Wooden Bicycle
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!

They use a steering wheel? Interesting.

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