Ok, so I don't know him extremely well, but my younger sister does. He goes to my former high school here in Montreal (Pointe-Claire), Quebec.

So basically, he built a bike out of wood. ENTIRELY! not one piece of anything else. He did this for as a personal project that I myself had to do during my last year there. You choose a non-academic project and write a huge paper on it, 4000-6000 words. He was into woodworking and biking, so he combined the two to make this beast!

Somehow, the Letterman people heard about this, one thing led to another and he got invited to a recording to demonstrate his bike on the show.

There have been wooden bikes before, but they were either not entirely wood, or they were not ride-able.

I'm very happy for this guy. Here are some pics:
