Even Mathew can lift it. |

This is the water-bottle holder, made from carbon fibre. Carbon is a constitutent of steel. |

The critical parts of the bicycle, the cables, are made from steel. |

|

It is not clear what this large gear is made of. It is not magnetic. |

The spokes are probably steel. But they are visible, so they are not nanotubes. |

Steel cable in action. |

Welds on the aluminium frame. Aluminium is also a component in steels, mostly as an impurity. |

Discussing how to plot data. A bicycle makes you think. |

This is the superbainite that Mathew is working on. Future bicycles for enlightened people may be made out of this. |

Mathew looks after his plants. This is fully consistent with owning an expensive bicycle. The cans on the right? You guessed it, steel. |

|

They seem envious of the bicycle. |

Chain which facilitates motion is made of dynamic steel. |

The fast rotation gears made of supersonic steel |

Now in their stationary state |

The spokes in an aerodynamic shape which befits steel. |

The critical nozzle which maintains the tyre at equilibrium, made of steel. |

|

Carbon fibre. Carbon is also used in the manufacture of steel. |

|

|

The spindle, probably steel. |

The chain is strong enough to support a magnet which is being pulled in the opposite direction by gravity. The two forces are not yet united in the human perception. They don't know it though. |
Mathew conducted an unintentional experiment to determine the material from which the large gear is made. The bicycle was dropped such that the gear hit the concrete stairs. The picture on the left shows the gear intact and that on the right shows how a chunk of concrete was dislodged from the stairs. Clearly not aluminium.
