hi im rly intrested in making my own bamboo bike i was wondering if you could help me out like with the blue prints and where did you get your bamboo form and aproximately how long did it take to fully complete this project

@renatofuzz: you can buy hemp in any hardware store. Just ask for hemp that is used for sealing pipes (water pipes)... that is perfectly suitable!

[renatofuzz]

please, give me an web address I can buy hemp fiber from!

why make bamboo into standard bike shape? you could eliminate most of those connections by using a recumbent bike design instead... take you half the time.

youtube search "Bamboo Tandem Bike from Brazil "Mobile Bamboo Magic" -Panasonic ecoideasnet" for an example

@Petalpusher28 because this is not a recumbent.... you don't go to a rock concert and say, you know this would be better if this was rap
