WOOD.b Bikes by BSG If you type ‘wooden bicycle’ into Google Images, the know-it-all engine will come up with a bunch of models, but few are as pretty as WOOD.b bikes by the Strasbourg-based bicycle designers Thierry Boltz and Claude Saos. Constructed to meet European safety standards, they’re fit for the road, can endure a fair amount of weight and put up with feisty weather. What’s more, they can do this while retaining their attractive ‘make-up’, and thus successfully combine functionality and beauty. They’re also hand-made in France, constructed from a hybrid of traditional metal components and wood.
