Mar 31, 2002 12:56 PM | | Visitng San Diego last summer I stumbled across some Bamboo bikes in front of an LBS and they were indeed real. I even took one for a spin. It had the ride qualities that I guessed primitive lugged carbon fiber might have had. Check this out.

Mar 31, 2002 1:55 PM | | From the site: "Our bicycles and tricycles feature all steel frame construction, and are totally rideable." The frame is wrapped in bamboo/rattan
The ideal fashion accessory for the bell-and-basket crowd.
Think of this as a Kronan woody. |
