Build your own bamboo bike at the Bamboo Bike Studio!

Fri, 05/01/2009 - 5:40pm by Wheelsucker

Announcing the launch of the Bamboo Bike Studio and www.bamboobikestudio.com. The Bamboo Bike Studio was founded to fulfill a dual mission: provide every cyclist the experience of building his or her dream bike from scratch, while advancing sustainable entrepreneurship and development by financing bamboo bike factories in Africa and South America. One weekend is all it takes to fabricate a frame from bamboo— a renewable and performance-positive material growing right in our backyard— assemble the components, and roll away with a custom-fitted ride, tuned to each student’s body and cycling style.

The cost of the class directly supports the Bamboo Bike Studio’s efforts and partnership with the Columbia Earth Institute-based Bamboo Bike Project and Millennium Cities Initiative to seed the first bamboo bike factory in Ghana, where reliable and cheap bicycle transportation can dramatically improve access to jobs, commerce, education, basic food and water resources, and health care. To kickoff the workshop and website launch, the Bamboo Bike Studio is partnering with Brooklyn-based design center 3rd Ward for the Green Bikes Birthday Block Party, Sunday May third.

The festivities will converge on Stagg Street in Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY for bike competitions, bands and music videos, badminton, drinks, BBQ, live screen-printing and more. The Bamboo Bike Studio team will be riding 10 deep to event, where they will host a live bike building demonstration, have bikes on hand for viewing, and offer a sign-up sheet for classes. For fun, for learning, for building a better ride and a better world; the Bamboo Bike Studio offers customized rides made from a local-harvested, fast-growing natural resource, and a bottom line that supports responsible light industry growth and progressive, self-propelled transportation in developing countries. -- Bamboo Bike Studio www.bamboobikestudio.com Jesse Huffman e: jessehuffman@gmail.com c: 503-680-3294
