Recycled Cardboard Bike
Environmentally friendly, strong, and extremely cheap ($9!) - via Made In Israel:
They are made of recycled cardboard, can withstand water and humidity, cost nearly nothing – and might the concept of green vehicle. Izhar Gafni is a Kibbutz resident, who decided to prove to his fellow engineers that he could make a bicycle at nearly no cost.
“They said it was impossible”
Izhar Gafni, originally from Kibbutz Bror Hayil in the Negev, took the most popular and widely sold vehicle in the community and decided to turn it into an entirely green private venture.
Gafni’s bicycle redefines the idea of green transportation in every way, being environmentally friendly from early stages of production all the way through creation of the final product. The bicycles are made out of recycled and used cardboard.
… Gafni said that the production cost for his recycled bicycles is around $9-12 each, and he estimates it could be sold to a consumer for $60 to 90, depending on what parts they choose to add.
Here is a 6 minute video, where the inventor guides us himself how this project came about:

The Bicycle Animation by Katy Beveridge
Student project exploring possibility of real-time animation, uses bicycle wheels to create zoetrope-like effects:
This is a piece created to question whether it was possible to film animation in realtime. Part of my CSM 3rd year disseration project I was looking at proto animation (really early basic animation) in contemporary design. I’ve taken a lot of influence from other contemporary designers who are using these techniques to explore the way we look at animation and how its made. As stated on my channel I have interviewed animators such as Jim le Fevre and in my research referenced other people using this technique such as David Wilson and Tim Wheatley who did this before me. I developed this project based on what is being done in animation right now as well as a lot of primary research into the history of animation techniques.

Bipedal Cycling Robot Can Balance, Steer and Correct Itself (via DigInfo)
Remote controlled robot can ride a bicycle - it’s charming how it stops, using his feet, then acknowledges this by raising it’s hand in the air, waving! (you can see this at the 1 minute 20 mark):
Robot creator Masahiko Yamaguchi has demonstrated a robot which can balance, steer and correct itself while riding a fixed-gear bike.
This robot system consists of a commercially available two-legged robot and a bicycle made by Yamaguchi. To detect how much the robot is tilting, the TAG201 gyro from Tamagawa Seiki is used. Based on the tilt data, a method called PID control is used to control the robot’s balancing motion.

Tricycle Water Calligraphy via Danwei
A bike that ‘prints’ Chinese characters on the ground with water
Water calligraphy is a poetic activity that you can observe in many Chinese parks: Artists use a large brush to write Chinese characters using water instead of ink. Minutes after the characters are written, they disappear.
Media Artist Nicholas Hanna built a tricycle that writes Chinese characters on the ground as it moves. -
