Steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, titanium, just a few metals and alloys that are used to make bikes. Add bamboo to the list. The Dylan Bamboo Bicycle from Organic Bikes uses the strong and sustainable wood for its tubing, and recycled alloy for frame lugs and chainstay tubing. Available in five sizes XS to XL, the bike is customized to your color and style specifications including a water bottle cage made from bamboo.
The bamboo is said to absorb some of the bumps in the road better than alloy and metal frames, producing a more comfortable ride. The Dylan is a three-speed cycle. Organic Bikes plans to release town bikes and road bike frames in the future. Committed to sustainability, the company also makes biodegradable water bottles as well as clothing and messenger bags made from recycled materials.
