The Kilmermobile

I hope that when Marco Facciola becomes my boss that he's merciful. Facciola, 16, has just designed and built an wooden bicycle. Not almost all wood or just a little metal, but wood except where he used glue. It includes a really slick looking ratcheting system intended to keep him from pedalling as he goes downhill. Now that he has finished the bike (a personal project needed for completion of an international baccalaureate curriculum) he plans to "focus on my schoolwork, my part-time job and sports." Since he's not at the office yet I at least have some time to look busy.
