This is so Portland (see Portland Bike routes, Portland sustainability). The Argentinian bamboo bicycle. I want one. The web page is in Spanish, but here is the Google translation of some the company’s descriptive language about their bamboo bicycle. (Say “bamboo bicycle” out loud. It’s fun to say, isn’t it? Well, the Spanish, “Bambubicicleta,” is even more fun to say.):
We live in a sustainable manner, to achieve balance and harmony with our planet… just depends on us.
Bamboo is an excellent material for building bikes: his strength is comparable with that of steel, and its natural flexibility absorbs road irregularities providing a comfortable ride, cushioned and smooth.
In each Bambucicleta aviation technology and nature combine traditional way, to achieve unique and exclusive designs, always taking priority on wellness and comfort when walking.
