Okay, the article title is a bit harsh. But still, the though of a bamboo bike frame is really weird. My best memories of bamboo are in the form of clarinet reeds and slalom gates, both of which broke fairly easily.

They have been around for several years. Don’t think reeds, think bamboo scaffolding forty stories high on a skyscraper in Hong Kong. It’s incredibly strong and light.
