The OLC bike is simple and cheap ‘one size fits all’ plywood bicycle for the mass market. The materials are all cheap and easily available and most importantly the materials are all recycled. OLC is quick to assemble through the use of CNC technology. The majority of elements are glued rather than mechanically fixed (providing the bike with incredible strength from modest materials).
The bike is made keeping in mind the mass market. It is a disposable item and a disposable solution for our cities transportation problems. The concept bike has reduced the modern bicycle to its bare bones. Constructed from plywood the bike is cheap and easy to construct. The bike has only 2 gears. The gears, chains, brakes and lights are all concealed within the ply webs of the bike carcass.
