"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving." --Albert Einstein

The Revolutionary Cardboard Bicycle

"Izhar Gafni smiles and shakes his head in wonder when asked about the whirlwind of events that have taken place since news of his revolutionary cardboard bicycle first made international headlines..."It's all happened so fast, and we did not expect it at all," exclaims Mr. Gafni, a heavyset man who displays all the qualities of an archetypal inventor -- a rapid, if somewhat erratic thought process; a tendency to forget the point he is trying to make; and pure delight when describing his next challenge or idea." Gafni's innovative $20 bicycle could unleash tremendous opportunities for underserved communities all over the world.
