The Sandwichbike<\/a>\u00a0can make a bicycle mechanic out of anyone.<\/p>\n

Made up of less than 50 parts, the bike comes shipped ready-to-assemble, and the manufacturer estimates it can be built in under an hour.\u00a0The less mechanically-inclined will rejoice at the simplicity of the bicycle’s design: cylindric inserts (as well as a limited number of screws) hold the whole thing together, making the building process more akin to that of a BILLY bookcase<\/a>\u00a0than a fully-functioning bicycle.<\/p>\n

The bike’s beech-plywood frame is weather-proof, allowing cyclists to cruise rain or shine, just as they would on a more conventional ride.<\/p>\n

Keeping with the company’s simple design ethos, the bike is fitted with a coaster break, meaning there are no cables or callipers to install. But should anything go wrong during assembly, the company will provide troubleshooting via a contact form on their website.<\/p>\n

The Sandwichbike hits European markets next month and will retail with a price tag of about $1,000. By early-2014, it will be available worldwide.<\/p>\n
