In February 2008 Calfee helped teach three groups in Ghana the basics of bamboo bike frame building. There are now several projects ongoing in that country. And further projects are planned, everywhere from Uganda and Liberia to the Philippines and New Zealand.
And Calfee's latest project is even more ambitious: The bamboo school bus bike. The plan is for the bike to have an adult steering and six or seven children onboard -- and everyone has to pedal.

Samaan tekniikkaan perustuvia olutpyöriä (beer bike) näkyi Saksassa kaduilla. Vaikutti ihan mukavalta touhulta. Ne eivät tosin olleet bambusta valmistettuja.
Uutta minulle, kuvahaulla löytyi juttu Amsterdamin Beer Bikesta, http://www.amsterdamlogue.com/beer-bike-banned-in-amsterdam.html
