In fact, the company has been on the ropes for some time, but luckily, for Bruce there was a clause in the agreement, which stated that he would be able to get his cash if he wanted to within a specified period of time. This he did back in March, but only received $1.1 million back, now there have been court papers filed in Los Angeles to retrieve the other $900,000.

This has been made by students from Germany who has tried to make this bike from as much eco friendly material as possible, obviously the tyres are always going to be a problem but even certain types of wood may not be considered as being eco friendly.

They are made from recycled rubber, which is great because that material is notorious for being hard to get rid of by any trash disposal means and because they are rubber it means they are also waterproof.

They measure 3.25 inches Wide x 4 inches Length and come in a pack of four. No prices available yet.
