bamboo bikes studio mission: to provide every cyclist the experience of building his or her dream bike from scratch, while advancing sustainable entrepreneurship and development through financing bamboo bike factories in africa and south america. the studio offers weekend classes ~ you build your own bike (how cool!) and the proceeds from that workshop directly support their efforts to create jobs and provide better access to commerce, education, and other essential resources by supporting bamboo bike factories. the current project is in ghana. {via cool hunting }
