    Brit boffins' bendy bamboo bike breakthrough ? The Register

    Nice!
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

    Looks nice. Not sure I'd want 'bamboo bikes' printed on it though. It seems to go without saying.

                  bike made of bamboo, for the price of a carbon fibre....

                  The bikes are now being produced for sale by Yorkshire-based RAW Bikes, with the frame at £1,000 and the first mountain bike starting from £1,750.

                  does not compute.

                  Milan.

                    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
