Here's How You Can Build Your Own Bamboo Bicycle...

Bamboo bicycles are nothing new but the relatively new kid on the block, the Singapore company Bamboobee, wants to make it easy for everyone to be able to ride around on a beautiful bamboo bike they've made themselves.
All the bits and pieces to make the frame are in the box but I don't know where the wheels, the handlebars, the seat and a few other minor components are.

Pembrokeshire In Wales Say This Wonderful Sustainable Strawbale Roundhouse Is Harmful To The Rural Character Of The Locality And Must Be Demolished...

Damned bureaucrats.
Charlie, who built this beautiful strawbale roundhouse, is a young man who, with his partner Megan and their baby boy live in this wonderful handmade home next to the Lammas Eco village in Wales' Pembrokeshire.
They have run into major problems as people who think outside the square invariably do.
The planning authority in the area say this beautiful, individualistic, sustainable and creative home must be demolished.
Because the house is harmful to the rural character of the locality.
Charlie, Meg and their baby face a dismal future should these bureaucrats have their way.
You can see the full story here and maybe even help save this wonderful home from being destroyed.
Damned bureaucrats...
