Bamboobie


How wonderful is Bamboo? Very. People may jaw on at great length about it's strength to weight characteristics as well as the attractive range of colours created throughout the lifecycle of this amazing member of the grass family. The uses of bamboo appear to be endless. From the scaffolds of hong-kong to the fibres in some floppy shirt and now this bike. Cold temperatures make for brittle bamboo and so this is redominantly a summer vehicle. Oh summer, please come back soon...
