THE COMPANIES MAKING BYCICLES FROM WOOD

This new talk about bycicles made of wood. This was invented in 1817, and it had no chain and was powered by the rider pushing his feet along the ground in a walking or running motion. Jump forward to 2017, and a lot of bike makers is turning back the clock and taking this idea. And they have attracted a small base of enthusiastic cyclists, willing to pay high prices for wood bikes. The new talk about different fabrics who make these bikes. Normally they have wooden frames; the other parts, such as the gears and wheels, are made from steel, carbon or rubber. Only one, Splinterbike in the UK, sells 100% wooden models with its bikes featuring wooden gears, chains and wheels. Prices range from $3,500 (£2,600) to $11,000 and sales grow but some cyclists think that wooden bikes be unsafe. 
I think that's a good idea, because there are original and especial bikes, but it's a problem, because they cut a lot of trees for make his bikes. I'm cyclist and I think that a wood bike is unsafe, because it's easy to break.
