Bike made out of recycled Plastic Frii

Alright, I’m all for that environmentally friendly mumbo jumbo talk but only to a certain extent. Sometimes these folks let their creative juices over flow and take things too far. How far you ask? Well, allow me to introduce you to the “Frii” Concept Bicycle that is made out of recycled plastic.

This is the creation of a design student, Dror Peleg, over at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. I give him an “A” for the idea and his spirit and dedication to be part of the solution to the overflowing landfills. But he gets a “D” if not “F” on the design of the Frii Concept Bicycle. Instead of using 3D printing technology, Peleg opted out for the injection molding which is widespread in Israel. Injection molding is widely used to make outdoor furniture (tables, chairs) to things such as storage units.
