Just when I thought I had seen it all, I ran across the Bamboo Bike, made by CalFee Design. Yes, you heard me correct, a bicycle made from bamboo.
The Bamboo Bike is the result of some very clever scientists and engineers working together to develop a sustainable form of transportation in Africa.
The Bamboo Bike Project, as it is known, "aims to examine the feasibility of implementing cargo bikes made of bamboo as a sustainable form of transportation in Africa." They did the examining and have concluded "that it is possible to source the material and supplies necessary to build a bamboo cargo bicycle in Africa, and train the local people to build the bikes."
You can read more about this project at The Bamboo Bike Project or on Calfee Design. You can also purchase bamboo bikes from Calfee Design.
