Calfee Bamboo Bikes
Bamboo makes for a natural material for bike building. Since we built the first modern bamboo bike in 1995, we’ve been amazed by the strength and the ride quality.
Bamboo has the best vibration damping for the smoothest ride. It’s perfect and convenient that nature provides it in a huge range of tube diameters and wall thicknesses.

Booomers Bamboo Bikes
In 2009, Craig Calfee ventured out to Africa with the purpose of teaching rural communities the unique and wonderful properties of bamboo. He guided them through the process of building bamboo bicycles by hand, with the goal of helping them find a reliable and sustainable source of transportation.
Kwabena Danso met Craig through the Yonso Foundation and brought his newfound bamboo bicycle knowledge back to his home town. With that knowledge, he began a bamboo bicycle manufacturing factory called Booomers. Today, Booomers continues to build bamboo bicycles in Ghana and sends them to cyclists all around the world. Sales of these bicycles not only help improve transportation in Ghana, but also go towards funding and providing better access to education.
