A tried hand at eco-friendly bicycle design, Paulus Maringka is taking a second stab at the bamboo bicycle. Having already developed a famous prototype earlier in the year, his newest Greencycle is making the rounds across the Internet and jogging the imaginations of many environmentalists.
Though it simultaneously promotes carbon neutrality by avoiding treated metals, the bamboo cycle's main purpose is to reduce the construction and labor costs associated with building bikes. As we speak, the Majority World is facing a troubling calamity: Do citizens of developing countries worsen climate concerns with new cars or do they find less-effecient alternatives? Paulus Maringka's bamboo bike strikes a compromise between those options, allowing eco-friendliness and practical transportation to co-exist.
To top it all off, Maringka's bicycle doesn't use harmful factory methods to pump out units. Instead, they're made by skilled laborers in the local markets!
