Bamboo Bicycles

Having spent a decade trading in native handicrafts, especially bamboo, I do have an affection for the fibre and its uses.  Now comes a company from Seattle (a city that reminds us of St. Paul "where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more...) that makes bicycle frames out of bamboo.

The prices seem on par with titanium.  A few months ago I covered a fellow in Portland creating wooden bicycles.

It breaks my heart to think there are countless people heading out to work to push paper and whatever, instead of create, laugh, be serious and all the good things that come with being customer-employed (no such thing as "self-employed.")

There is something you should be doing.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
