Velo Bamboo offers custom, hand-built bamboo bicycles and accessories. Bikes are built from locally-harvested bamboo and upcycled lugs. Bamboo is a self-renewing material that absorbs more carbon dioxide than trees. And when you consider that the bike isn’t being built in Asia before being shipped across the Pacific to North America, the carbon footprint compared to a Chinese aluminum mountain bike is miniscule. Bamboo bikes are whimsical and efficient. They age like a good pair of shoes or a fountain pen. They are a renewable, repairable response to our disposable culture.
