There is something to be notably said about the psyche of a bicycle and how it can challenge the robotics of a human body without environmental repercussions of some gadgetry. The trade’s kingpins such as Bamboo Bee are providing opulent technology and affordable nature-inspired products to push a software update of mortal-powered transportation. 

One of the many benefits of the Bamboo Bee’s modularity is the reduced need for engineering expertise. Their BIY (Build It Yourself) 2 Builder’s kit is made to allow customization to all species of bikes and to be completed in less than a few hours. Each bamboo is specifically selected, naturally processed, and the basic frame is crafted by a craftsman.

You also will receive a survey that provides the company with the necessary information to send you the correct size and salient particulars. If you do need extra assistance along the way, Bamboo Bee features a page on their website that dispenses information on how to fix a bamboo’s crack and more.

Bamboo bikes in general can withstand the possibility of enduring 10-15 years of labour due to the durability and resistance to stress and impact. However, it’s just as important to apply a great deal of love as you would in a self-care routine.

Speaking of personal maintenance, the act of DIY and BIY has many psychological benefits. For instance, Dr. Kelly Lambert found that hands-on work relieved the craving of our need to make things and could be an antidote for our cultural malaise. The time that we do spend on technological devices can drain us from the real root of pleasure, meaning, and pride. 

This means projects like the Bamboo Bee’s kits are so important to discover in today’s society as it can nurture and cycle you into building and repairing in more ways than one.
