These striking wooden bicycles hail from Freiburg in the Black Forest, Germany's so-called "green city." Here's a snip of text from Google Translate's best whack at the German writeup Tillwe's translation from the article:

In 2006 Marcus Wallmeyer (32) founded the "Waldmeister" (woodruff, but also "master of the forest") company. He already got various design prizes for his bicycles, unique works with a frame made from local wood. Thus the Waldmeister Bike 2007 won the "brand new award" of ispo, world biggest sports exhibition.

With his concept the creative bicycle freaks aims for bringing design and sustainability together. he also designs bicycle lamps.
