I'd hate to have to clean that after riding it in mud.

Craig Calfee seems particularly adept at creating showpieces, such as this 'spider bike' made by wrapping a carbon yarn around the critical hard points. Does it work? Calfee says so, and he's even considering putting it into moderate production.

Would one need carbon fiber knitting needles to build this?
Not too sure about that lace pattern. Wondering about the single/unopposed spokes. Looks cool, but is the wheel functional?

That thing looks like a mess to me. Reminds me of some school art projects.
