Inventive wooden bicycle shows off woodworker's skill

A woodworker for over 50 years, 67-year-old Mamatta Sadi from Avati County Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region tested his purely hand-made wooden bicycle on the road attracting many onlookers. The bike is 2.8 meters long, 1.3 meters high, and except for a few metal pieces including more than 10 screws and bearding, the whole bicycle is made of wood. The bicycle took Sadi more than one month to complete, but he says it's not completely finished yet. He intends to add a bell, proper rubber tires and some iron pieces to strengthen the bicycle.
