  • Saw a fixed bamboo bike locked up in between the National Hospital for Nervous Disease and Great Ormond Street a couple of weeks ago - belong to anyone here?

    I lived in hong kong as a teenager, and they'd make all their scaffolding out of bamboo - even for 20+ storey tower blocks. There's a much recounted (urban myth?) story of side-by-side skyscrapers, one with metal scaffolding and another with bamboo scaffolding. Apparently a typhoon hit, and only the bamboo scaffolding survived owing to its' flex.

    Anyway, back on topic - has anyone tried a bamboo bike?
