Avondale Estates, GA (WXIA) - A teenager is turning heads with one of his new creations.

Collin Graver, 15, of Georgia has built himself a wooden bike.

The home-schooled tenth grader says he got bored with his physics homework so decided to create the bike in his garage. It was made from a single sheet of plywood at a cost of $20, but the bike won't be winning any races.

It's 65 pounds, only goes six miles an hour, and even its creator admits it's a rough ride.

"I had more fun building it than actually riding it or showing it off or any of that," said Graver.

Colin is already working on a new project. Another bike made about of higher quality wood that can go a bit faster.
