I'd like to see the exploitation of a precise ratio of dilithium crystal, tritanium, and mentadent.

I once saw a man who was riding a bike made of bamboo. Apparently, if you get the right kind, it's just as strong, light and flexible as aluminum. I wouldn't want to see the result of catastrphic frame failure though. At least aluminum doesn't come apart in spiky shards that could puncture my dangly-bits.

The bamboo bike is made by Calfee. To be OCP, you'd need a coconut bra and a grass skirt!
