Interview with Wisdom

Background:
Wisdom built his first toy vehicle out of a spattering of recycled parts at the age of 10. A few years later realizing that his pleas for a bike would remain unanswered he decided to hone his skills until he achieved a ride-able form of transport. Many iterations into the process he arrived at a bicycle which was a fusion of wood and steel; this bike was acknowledged and currently resides The Museum of Science and Technology in Accra.
