Bicycles made of bamboo have a number of advantages: the materials are cheap, they're renewable, they're strong as light steel, they don't clatter as much as aluminum bikes, and the bamboo is a carbon sink.

...is this really the entire article?

Kyle -

This post is part of a feature we call "News and Tools", which normally appears on worldchanging.ca in the left-hand column. These posts are designed to be tiny - to offer a 20-30 word pointer to a resource or news item that we think is worthwhile.

That having been said, this particular News and Tools item doesn't feel like a stand-alone piece, does it? Thanks for the note - this is helpful feedback!

Thanks for the clarity, Mark. I came across this piece as a standalone item in my usual WorldChanging Canada newsfeed and was expecting a full article.
