Who knew that throwing nine Yale engineering students in a room together would result in a spokeless bicycle. I certainly didn't.
This spokeless bicycle is cool, but it isn't the best part of this whole story. If you ask me, what's awesome here is the fact that nine students actually put their heads (and limited budgets) together and came out with a cool design that actually works. The future of America's infrastructure is in the hands of these spokeless bicycle engineers. I feel safer already.
