Born out of love for cycling and a growing passion in the need for sustainable design solutions I undertook the design and manufacturing challenge of this bicycle in 2014.
A bespoke handcrafted single speed bicycle made from sustainably sourced materials and a passion for cycling.

The Brand
A logo design with a fun edge that uses negative space to capture the essence of bamboo distinguishing the nodes and panda cyclist.
The Product
The bicycle frame is made up of 7 bamboo poles ranging from 45mm to 25mm diameter, secured together with hemp fibre and epoxy resin to provide a rigid, yet sustainable lug.
Would you believe it if someone said they had made a bike out of grass?
Well bamboo provides an incredible stiffness thanks to its strong fibrous composition even rivalling steel. The material also provides the frame with a vibration dampening feel for comfort, without lacking in speed and performance, climbing and accelerating like that of some of the best carbon bikes.
Only 8kg in weight
Lightweight and durable, the bamboo frame can withstand crashes (had one), the elements and almost any corners you throw at it.

Brief
Born out of love for cycling and a growing passion in the need for sustainable design solutions I undertook the design and manufacturing challenge of this bicycle in 2014. The speed at which bamboo grows, its strong mechanical properties and renewable nature made this material ideal for an innovative head turning bicycle.
