Looks Great But It Weighs 114 Pounds!

When most people think of bicycle frames, they have in mind materials running the gamut of aluminum, chrome-moly steel and carbon fiber. Not so a timber technology student in Germany. For his two-wheeled creation, he turned to the beech tree.

More specifically, Jens Eichler got himself some sheets of beech plywood, along with a strong glue (phenol-resorcinol) and some power tools. After a few months of playing with the concept, he set to work in August 2006 on what would become a tandem bicycle he calls "Renovatia."

Tuesday August 14 Bike Ride



Beautiful day to ride. Warm, sunny, and not much wind.
This ride takes advantage of a bike trail from Nashua to Ayer, it's mostly shaded and has great views of the Nashua River.

Pot of Gold


It was raining lightly as we soaked in our hot tub after a bike ride. A few minutes later the sun returned and we spotted this beautiful rainbow. I jumped out of the tub and grabbed my camera.
Seeing the whole arch is rare but today was our lucky day. Unfortunately, my lens was not wide enough to capture it all.
