bcguy Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 And here you can see my bamboo bike - the overall weight is 10.7 kg (23.6 lbs). Bamboo is EXTREEMLY strong. Here is proof!bamboo scafolding! http://www.edinphoto.org.uk/0_MY_P_F/0_my_photographs_hong_kong_-_bamboo_scaffolding_hy17.jpgoobject 16 impressive examples of bamboo scaffoldingI have used bamboo to make antennas with it. Stuff is increadibly stiff. Even small 1/2 diameter very very hard to bend. I would say for its weight and diameter, its stronger then aluminum..which most bikes are made of. Why Bamboo? Quote
john doe Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 If I weigh around 300-lbs, I be leery in driving the bike. If you're around 300 lbs, you need to start by walking. Don't hop on the bike until you get down to around 290 lbs. and then you will be fine. Quote
