Not since the cast of Gilligan\u2019s Island<\/em> has bamboo been put to such utilitarian use as today\u2019s bike designers have, creating some of the most cost-efficient, reliable and environmentally sustainable two-wheeled conveyances imaginable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A clear example of this, is the Indonesia-based Spedagi<\/em>, which recently won a design award in Japan for its Rodacilik<\/em> bamboo bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name Spedagi<\/em> is derived from Sepeda Pagi<\/em> thattranslates into \u201c<\/em>morning bike\u201d, which was founded by the award-winning designer Singgih Susilo Kartono. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Singgih, the idea for a bamboo bicycle came to him when he was sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen browsing the internet to look for a suitable bike, I found information about a bamboo bicycle in the United States. I was surprised to learn that bamboo was used to build bikes in a country where the plant is rather rare. <\/strong>Aware that bamboo grows abundantly in Indonesia, it then occurred to me that we should make bamboo bikes too.\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Priced in the range of Rp 7 million (US$479) to Rp 11 million, the handmade Spedagi<\/em> is created using bambu petung <\/em>(giant bamboo), one of the strongest varieties of bamboo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to strength, the handmade Spedagi<\/em> is not inferior to a metal says Singgih, who recently rode one of his bikes 750 kilometers from Jakarta to Madiun in East Java with a total load of 90 kilograms without any problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His design also passed a vibration-fatigue-impact test by the Japan Vehicle Inspection Association (JVIA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singgih feels grateful that his village is blessed with an abundance of bamboo trees. Like Kandangan, villages across the archipelago are rich with natural resources, but many people have yet to realize their potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He believes village resources will determine the world\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn villages, people can make ends meet independently. In Wae Rebo village in East Nusa Tenggara, for example, people fulfill their needs from nearby sources. They do not use [factory-made] products from outside the village.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all of this, the Spedagi Rodacilik<\/em> won Japan\u2019s prestigious G-MarK Good Design<\/em> award in November, not only for the use of bamboo, but for generating a symbol that comprises craftsman\u2019s skills, and a village\u2019s industry and local characteristics, able to attract outside companies with the aim of revitalizing an entire region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
