McLaren do carbon fibre, audi do ... wood!

Has anyone seen the news about the new wooden bicycles Audi are selling?

I have to say, I quite like them! Well, the proper road one anyway. I'm curious to know what others think of them.

Presumably it will just be plastic then.

So next time I'm out on my bike and I look over my shoulder can I expect to see one drafting me 2mm from my back tyre? [/cliché]

They are actually real. I'm going to be riding one at the end of the month (not an Audi-branded one though, and I haven't spent $7,000 on it!); I'm really curious to see what it's like to ride when I get out on it.
