Bamboo Bicycles!

The most inspiring Idea of heard of lately came to me from good ole' public radio. I was in my car, at a stoplight, not on my bike, when I heard this amazing idea bamboo bicycles. I think if the technologies are perfected this could be a great alternative to the traditionally steel or aluminum frame bikes. The whole bikes arent't made of bamboo, but the frames are, and thats a great use of material. The low impact, and resource efficiency of a bamboo frame is exciting to me, and I really hope this idea continues to grow.
