motorcycling for the environmentally conscious

maybe you remember my post about bamboo bikes. if not, search for it. i saw this, and thought i should post it, too. how cool is a helmet made out of wood, but it's so strong that it meets the european standards (which are higher than the u.s. ones)?


and a hybrid vespa? wow.

bamboo bikes

want to read an amazing article? check this guy out who makes bikes out of bamboo. he also sells really high end bikes (he has a shop in santa cruz). he has a bit of a dream of how to equip the poor, especially women, with reliable transportation. it's not a reality yet, but it's in process.
