Bamboo is a giant grass commonly found in the tropical regions of Asia, Africa and South America. Bamboo is the fastest-growing woody plant on Earth; it can reach maturity in months compared to other woods, which take decades. It grows super-fast, some types grow about one meter a day. Bamboo is one of the most versatile
Bamboo has been used in the eastern hemisphere for centuries. Bamboo bikes have existed for over hundred years Particularly in the orient, but in other places as well when times were either hard or when metals were subject to civilian restriction, such as during the world wars and conflicts.
Any movie or documentary that you watch often depicts Asian villagers riding what seems to be poorly constructed bicycles through dilapidated towns. However, there is a great misconception regarding these bikes. Bamboo bikes are very different looking and maybe less likely to get stolen. They are lighter than, and just as strong, as bikes made using aluminum. They do not rust, and there are no nuts or bolts to loosen that can cause serious accidents.
Bamboo bicycles, therefore, can create sustainable way for businesses to keep costs down and it allows for local business to create employment, even in remote areas. It literally helps the economy by providing the necessary tools for people to provide for their families. With bamboo bicycles, there is no worry about running out of gas or if the engine will fail as with automobiles. Bamboo bicycles offer a safe and reliable mode of transportation with minimal repair costs, and require very little upkeep and maintenance.
Bamboo bicycles are extremely eco friendly because there are no harsh emission or pollutants that are released. An added benefit to bamboo bicycles is that the rider get many hours of exercise and generally remains in good health.
Bamboo is a totally renewable resource you can clear cut it, and it grows right back, almost like weeds in a garden. It is strong, but it's also very flexible, however, Bamboo is prone to splitting and fracturing when under lateral strain. This seems to be the only drawback to using bamboo.
