Bamboo bicycle

[pegkerr]

Here's today's utterly cool idea that I hope spread far and wide. This was a story in my local paper today: Bamboo is sturdy, plentiful and eco-friendly. So why not make a bicycle out of it? A Californian has peddled the idea to Ghana and beyond

Here is another web page which includes a picture of a bamboo bicycle. Edited to add: Here's another link, with details and pictures about the frame. And here's Calfee's website with further information.
