Joel, a customer from Knoxville, Tennessee, sent pictures of his hand built bamboo bicycle using our Domestically Grown Designer Quality Polished Bamboo Poles. 

Joel’s project required poles of very specific diameters : 1″, 1 3/8″, 1 3/4″ and 1 1/4″

Building a bamboo bicycle requires poles of very specific diameters.  For most out-of-state customers we select the poles according to their specifications, package them up and ship by FedEx but it is always best if a customer can select the poles in person.  That’s what Joel chose to do.  He drove to our nursery from Tennessee in order to hand-pick the black bamboo poles he wanted. He even brought along a cordless jigsaw and lots of blades to cut the poles down so they’d fit in the trunk of his car.

“I’ve finished the bamboo bike from the poles I picked out at your wonderful farm,” Joel wrote in an email accompanying his photos.
