Bamboo Bike Project

The Bamboo Bike Project was started by two scientists at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO), David Ho and John Mutter, with initial funding coming from The Earth Institute at Columbia University. The project's goal is to help local investors start factories that make low cost, high quality, locally produced bamboo bikes to be widely distributed in Sub-Saharan Africa.
==History==

In 2006, David Ho, now a Professor of Oceanography at University of Hawaii at Manoa,〔(Conversation: David Ho, Environmental Scientist with a New Spin on Bikes ). Cogito (December 18, 2008). Retrieved on November 11, 2011.〕 won $25,000 in a seed funding competition from the (Earth Clinic )〔〔(Seed Funding Competition Year 2006 – 2007 – The Earth Institute – Columbia University ). Earthinstitute.columbia.edu. Retrieved on November 11, 2011.〕 to determine the feasibility of using bamboo bicycles to provide improved transportation in sub-Saharan Africa. In the summer of 2007, Ho and his colleague John Mutter, using the seed money from the Earth Clinic, paid for Craig Calfee to join them on a trip to Accra, Ghana to determine the feasibility of building bamboo bikes using locally sourced material.〔(Bamboo Bike Project ).

After a successful trip, the Bamboo Bike Project teamed up with the Millennium Cities Initiative in 2008 to help establish bamboo bike building factories in Kumasi and elsewhere.〔(Millennium Cities Initiative – Bamboo Bike Project ).

2008 also saw the release of a KPMG-authored report that examined the feasibility and investment opportunity of implementing a bamboo bicycle production facility in Kumasi, Ghana.〔(Bamboo Bike Project Blog ).
