I saw this bicycle last Sunday nearby the university where my daughter took her exam. Notice that body framed of the bicycle is of bamboo. It has been said that thes kind of bicycle are handmade. It is absolutely eco-friendly but definitely expensive. They are for rent to tour around Intramuros.

I think it is. Those bicycles are for rent to tour around the places and it is a big place to go on by foot

Some bamboo is very strong. When we stayed in a Karen village in Thailand just about the whole house was made of bamboo.
