The Lesenjača is a wooden bicycle of Slovenian origin, behind which the up-and-coming Mika Kovač and his parents stand, and it was created in the family carpentry studio 4MK. The Lumberjack's journey to Kickstarter is an interesting one, as it all started in the 2nd year of high school, when Mike and the rest of the class were given an assignment to make something out of wood. Since Mike is a cyclist at heart, a wooden bicycle was the first thing that came to his mind, and his home workshop also came up with the idea. The result is worth not only a high five, but also financial support, don't you agree?
