I believe the idea is to coat the cardboard with a very toxic sealent.   This prevents moisture from getting into the product.

Unfortunately the sealent is so toxic that I have no idea how the production workers could be protected.   As far as disposal of unwanted bikes, how to do this, cannot put in land fill, cannot dump in the ocean or even burn the suckers.

Cardboard is an an amazing product, as long as it is kept dry the triple strength boards makes wonderfull insulation, the holes between layers allow air flow, but once wet it can produce mold that is a killer if inhaled.  

These bikes would work great in a very dry country, little to no humidity, say Death Valley.  

Innovation is great, perhaps this may turn out well if a sealent can be found that is non toxic.



Dry climate equals sand, hills, rocks and mountains. I could be wrong, but I do live in the Mojave desert.

Yeah, but the cardboard ones probably won't have that satisfying crunch you'd get out of a metal framed bicycle.  :-)

But to be fair, the cardboard bikes won't scratch up your paint job, and the lack of protection means that much more pain will be inflicted upon the DUmmies.

Typical "Greenie" idea. Disposable bicycles. What will they think of next? Won't be long and we'll be flyin' cardboard rockets to Mars!

then they just cast them aside like the rest of the litter they throw out because they are too lazy to find a garbage can

Off topic a little, but until some time in the mid-1950s, there were very few, if any, laws prohibiting littering.

I still remember as a child hearing adults express outrage that you could be fined for tossing an empty can or candy wrapper out of your car window.

At the first McDonald's restaurant I ever visited, probably around 1960, there was no place to sit down, so people got their food and then ate in their cars. Every minute one of the kids working would shout "one left", meaning a car had left the parking lot. That was a signal for someone to dash from behind the counter out to the parking lot to pick up the empty bags and wrappers that were always tossed out of the departing car. At that time there was still no real anti-littering attitude. It's hard to imagine today, but that's the way it was.

I still recall when some fast food places had people bring your food to the car on a tray and would the tray and garbage when you were ready to leave.

A & W, Dog 'n Suds.

Those were regional though, so I doubt non-Nebraskans ever heard of them.

We had A&W in our local mall up north. Dog N Suds drive ins are gone but the stores carry their soda last I heard. In fact, yesterday my brother(brat) posted a Facebook pic of him drinking one of their root beers (something I haven't had for 12 years.)

They weren't that regional.  There is still a Dog~n~Suds near here and a couple of A&Ws.  I don't think they have the car hops anymore, though.

We have A&Ws around.  Pooch 'n Bubbles, not so much.

Sonic still has car hops and trays.  There's nothing like a car smelling of cooking grease! (And upholstery sticky from a spilled chocolate shake.)

Back in the day it was a way for mom and dad to take their rugrats out for a meal without annoying other customers.  It also allowed mom and dad to cuff the kids for getting too unruly.  (I speak from experience)

Yes, I am aware.  I was just a tot once myself.  We'd go to DQ or Sylvia's for a quick bite out. 

I had a tot of my own before it all went away.

We have A&W in red state hell. They have the best root beer, but no carhops.

The only place I know with carhops is Sonic (most on roller skates), but they don't have the car trays around here anymore.

Yeh, Sonic brings your food to you.  I have always wondered why they don't have a garbage can at the menu area because that would at least encourage the  lazy people to throw their garbage away instead of on the road like they do.

Your Sonic doesn't have the "Please Push Button For Trash Pick-Up" sign?
