It's time to bambike your commuting and wake up to the environment's alarm signals. Climate change and the spike in noxious air quality in cities are scary reminders to take things to a cleaner, greener level.
Bambikes (aka, bamboo bikes) could be your way to skip the car fumes, ditch the plastic and cut down on your flab. Bangalorean Vijay Sharma had crafted India's first bamboo bicycle for a clean green ride in 2009, and now he's open to teaching you too.
I came across his workshop session on the site, Vacation With An Artist (VAWAA), and I just had to share it with you! A great way to take forward our efforts for sustainable living, signing up with this program will teach you to craft a bamboo bicycle from scratch.
Incredibly lightweight and surprisingly sturdy and durable, the bambikes are fit for mountain biking, too. Vijay will teach you how to craft the bike's body and wheels out of bamboo and put it together with hemp. Selecting, cutting, framing and assembly - each step will be taught with precision and care, so you can create your own model by yourself.
