Визитку с адресом мы все видим, но интересно-то узнать - кто это, где это, зачем это, из чего это, и т.д. и т.п. ...

Это культовая "Веспа"

А по-моему, то ли "Тула", то ли "Муравей". Не менее культовые. )

Вот, что мне ответил Carlos Alberto (перевести сейчас времени нет):

Story of a carpenter and their bikes

It all began with a report of an Italian carpenter who built bicycles in wood. I see the report in a magazine, and working in wood and enjoying the challenges, I thought it was also able to make bicycles in wood. Time marches on and in 2000 I became a member of the Moto Club of PaГos de Ferreira and linked to the world of motorbikes
thought "why not make a bike make a wood". One day was in bed with flu and being visited by two friends told them that it would build a bike wood however they replied that I should be delirious. After having improved the flu was the seat of the Motorcycle Club and spoke to several members of what I was thinking to do, they started to laugh and enjoy, but two of them with the name of Maximino EugИnio Costa e Cunha came to me and accepted into the project. This was initiated in early February 2001 and presented to members and friends already ready in early June of that year, because everyone was without words were always fun and enjoyed, then when we saw said "Here come the men from the bike stick. "The birth of wasp began when a friend of a president Vespa Club of Freamunde and owner of a drugstore where I would buy materials and derivatives asked me when I started to build the next bike of wood, I answered him "any day "and he then said that the next was to be a wasp.
Because the structure of a wasp with the open framework that raised me some difficulties, but I was arranging solutions, time and money. We were already in 2004 and had everything ready to start but in September the same year had a serious accident where he was stopped for eleven months since I returned to start the project in the middle of 2007 starting to gather all the information again due to start building a wood wasp that in October 2007. I started by taking some pictures of the model of a wasp VN1 of 1951 the current president of the Vespa Club Freamunde. In November began to paste the first pieces of wasp with the help of my wife, Grace and my daughter. The presentation of the wasp was held on 12 July 2008.
