Red Hook’s Bamboo Bike Studio has been popping up in the media recently, as in a recent piece by NY1, and so we thought we’d check it out. The studio holds weekend classes for the public, where you can design and build your own bicycle from bamboo harvested in the tri-state area. The studio is part of a larger collaboration with the Columbia University Earth Institute-based Bamboo Bike Project and the Millennium Cities Initiative to establish bamboo bike factories in South America and Africa, to provide transportation and promote sustainable entrepreneurship and light-industry development. Bikes and activism—who could ask for anything more? GMAP
