Thousands of years from now, when even the last UO8 had finally turned into tiny flakes of rust, blowing in the radioactive winds, this bike will still be around, ready for a million more miles

The rebar I dealt with many years ago was the opposite, very hard, destroyed a hacksaw blade to cut 2/3 through it, then was able to snap it off with little deformation, fine-grain fracture structure, hard.
