bamboo cruise control
yet another bamboo innovation- the bamboo cruise control. I was tired of being all bent over, as the conventional mountain bike/ racer biker makes you be. I wanted to sit up for around town cruising. The easy strategy for achieving the raised handle bars was merely to connect the ends of the handle bar ends with a bamboo bar. Voila- bamboo cruise control. I sit up, see the world, and the bamboo cruise control is a good feel. Brakes are still on the conventional handle bar, but the upper bar is useful for most of bicycle cruising. Light weight, natural, bamboo! Perfect!

Hey Jo,
Great idea! As a bamboo expert, do you have a sense for how much weight a piece of heated & bent (just bowed a few degrees) bamboo can support in a hammock configuration? Kind of a random question, but thought you might be able to help out.
Thanks,
Joe
