Erba Cycles
Bamboo bikes, of course
535 Albany St, 4th Floor; South End; 617.466.9893

Using unexpected materials can make even the most boring
things exciting, except hula hoops. Those will always suck.
Thankfully not making hula hoops, Erba Cycles.

Skillfully constructed by a Maine engineer who built his
first bike frame when most people were learning to read (age
17), EC's a just-unveiled planet-saving line of
hand-crafted "commuter and comfort bicycles" made from
natural fibers & high-strength bamboo that boast a ride
quality that's "Plush with a capital P", though the feeeel
so much depends on the weather. EC's lightweight flagship is
the sleek Erban, which features natural fiber joint-work
tooled from plant-based hemp/flax, a new pinhead wheel
locking system that replaces standard hex screws w/ a unique
dome-shaped/divoted nut, bamboo grips, single-speed or
fixed-gear options w/ 3, 7, or 8-speed internally-geared
hubs, and is available in a "finish and color that varies
with the bamboo harvest" and includes earth-tone,
caramel-colored hemp, or creamy bone flax, which Jamba Juice
is, at this moment, figuring out a way to put in your next
smoothie. Or, if you live your life the Mad Libs way, you
can use their sweet online tool to custom design your new
ride and trick it out with components (rims, tires,
crankset) in any one of 10 different colors, as well as
select everything from handlebar shape to the fork (black
steel, white carbon), and type of joint material, which the
Black Eyed Peas'll know when they see it.

Because no one wants to ride alone, they're currently hard
at work developing a smaller matching lady's frame with low
step-over, as well as a beach cruiser, though the time frame
is TBA, as it's unclear what kind of hoops they'll need to
jump through, though seeing how they're hoops, they'll
definitely suck.

Limited production has officially begun so, really, has
there ever been a better time to order a new bike from
ErbaCycles.com?
