The Bamboo Bike

With an almost unlimited number of applications, bamboo can do practically everything from spicing up your lunch to building your tropical tree house to feeding your pet panda. And now, thanks to the good folks at CalfeeDesign, you can use the fast-growing grass to get around town on your stylish new bamboo racing bike.

Instead of using fresh bamboo a€" which would crack and split a€" CalfeeDesign builds its bikes out of special heat-treated wood, a process that gives the frame rigidity and helps to dampen vibration. The finished product, though just as expensive as other high-end racing bicycles, has a significantly smaller carbon footprint and works just as well.
