What? A bike made of bamboo? That was our first reaction too… But the more we looked into it, heard about other bamboo-bike touring experiences and got to know AhSun Chuah, the man behind the machine… the more excited we got! Of course… Bamboo is light, strong, shock-absorbant, completely sustainable and non-polluting. Maybe a better question would be: Why not bamboo? So, we are thrilled to have partnered with Ahsun and his company Bamboobee, and to be riding his beautiful bikes along the GREEN RIDERS road! We’ll just have to stay away from hungry pandas along the way… We’ll have images of our own customized beauties as soon as they’re ready to roll!

GREEN RIDERS
（ Male / Not set ）

Six weeks. Two bamboo bikes. A camera. A continent of environmental stories, struggles and successes. Plus, several thousand kilometers of twisted little roads stringing it all together. Welcome to GREEN RIDERS: Southeast Asia. From June 2012 Kenny and Jamie will journey by bamboo bike and other sustainable means from Phuket, Thailand to Bali, Indonesia. Along the way we’ll be exploring Southeast Asia’s wealth of biodiversity, and meeting with groups and individuals involved in its protection and destruction. Plus, making connections with communities to learn more about their conservation efforts and promoting environmental education and action to protect the region’s threatened natural gems.
