Bambizzle



I had the chance to work with Brian Drayton at Richmond
Spokes on a vinyl poster representing the Bamboo Bicycle project.

These style of bikes are becoming popular and are gaining
much press. They seem to be a symbol of the modern Green
movement and have a direct relationship to sustainability
and Eco-consciousness.

The functionality of the bike combined with the image of
the bicycle's biological components create an inherent icon.

Photos of this bike and their process are linked to the web
