Bamboo bikes, hemp bikes....

From Spiegel Online, a short, fun to read piece about truly green bicycles.

Does he have any association with the Ritchey project in Africa? I wonder. I can't remember where Ritchey's deal is. Is bamboo really still green after it's coated in epoxy resin? Sometimes I think people say things are green just because the material they're using grew out of the ground. The bikes are beautiful though, and it's super cool that the goal is to help people create their own business.
