I didn’t even realize today was the first World Bicycle Day. I’m glad I got a ride in.

竹自転車 (Bamboo Bicycle)
The Bamboo Bicycle Club, the London-based group that helps people build bicycles from natural bamboo, has released a few bike porn photos of one of their latest creations.
Bamboo Bicycle Club
Bamboo Bicycle Club is a London-based group providing workshops and kits for people to make their own bicycles out of bamboo. They have road and off-road models, and offer custom designs as well.
The club has sold more than 980 kits, and currently lists its farthest delivery as Tokyo, Japan.
Weekend workshops cost £588. Kits are £260 for the road models and £295 for off-road. There’s also a fat bike kit for £330. The club has had more than 800 attendees from 42 countries at its workshops. The Bamboo Bicycle Club also works with schools and universities to provide education in the properties of bamboo and to host bike building workshops.
Bamboo Bicycle Club offers the opportunity to own an unusual but fully functional bike that you’ve made with your own hands.
