Shi Jinsong has designed a bike that seems made for the ultimate fan of [greennovation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-solaris). Replacing a standard frame for a more [earth-friendly design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rcyl-bike), Shi Jinsong has put his work on display at the ‘China - Contemporary Revival’ exhibit which is being held in Milan, Italy and will be going until February 7, 2010.

I definitely like the ingenuity behind his work, but I just don’t know how comfortable this bad boy would be on a bumpy road.
