Bamboo For Bikes
Bamboo Habitat now offers bamboo selected specifically for building bikes. This bamboo has been selected by going through the bamboo groves and choosing the oldest bamboos that have the proper diameters. By selecting the oldest bamboo, we are getting the maximum fiber content, which assures that the bamboo is very strong. The bamboo is then power washed and then kiln dried. The types of bamboo we have are Black Bamboo, Madake Bamboo and Blue Henon Bamboo. Of the three, the Henon Bamboo is the strongest, but the Black Bamboo and Madake are also exceptionally strong.
