Well y'all Veloswap was wonderful and my favorite day of the year exists again so I can be happy and have hope for the future.So I'm gonna post a bunch of pictures.There are loads of bamboo bikes out there. @attoparsec has a lovely bamboo cargo bike. But the AluBOO was a weird side quest using bamboo main tubes in an otherwise light aluminum frame.Crazy titanium design, reminiscent of old softrides, where the seat boom flexes slightly for cushioning.

A surprising number of kids choose "potato" and then go running down the front walk to the street screaming "I got a potatoooooo!"
