Benefits of Bamboo Bikes?

While I think this is an interesting idea in theory, I’m not sure about the practicality of it.

Would they be cheaper and easier to build? And even if they are eco-friendly (which I would question), are they missing the important need which is providing cheap, reliable transportation that can be sustained (fixed by people on the ground in countries where they are used).

Gimicky attraction or destraction?

The term bamboozled comes from the bamboo bicycle industry. Be wary.
