We’ve seen bamboo used for bicycle frames, and we’ve seen bamboo used for water bottles and even clothing. But the quick growing grass offers the strength of wood and has a nice look as well. This is why it is used for cabinets and even floors. So it is no surprise that Quarterre would create a bike rack made of bamboo as well.
The Branchline bike race is designed and made in England from FSC certified bamboo and hand-finished in leather. It offers a striking design with adjustable arms that can hold two bikes off the floor. About the only downsides of going with bamboo is that this isn’t the most affordable bike rack – and it will cost about $1500 – plus it will take about eight to 10 weeks to get it. But if you have the money and some patience, the Quarterre Branchline will be an ideal bike rack to show off those spiffy high-end road bikes.
