Gotta admit I’m not a serious spinner, but I do love cruising on two wheels on a cool summer’s eve or crisp, fall day. I’m intrigued by these bamboo babies from Craig Calfee of Santa Cruz, California-based, Calfee Design. Pictured above is the bamboo/hemp cross bike, which can be customized to meet your personal specs. Pricing starts at about $2700 (frame-only). Lightweight, strong, and made from sustainable grass. I’d love to give this a whirl.

Here’s another bamboo bike enthusiast who seems like an interesting cat, Bruno Meres, from Slovakia. Check out his gear, beautiful Nikon snaps and thoughts on bamboo @ bmeres.com
