Taking a Bicycle to a Whole New Green Level

Owning a bike is a great step in the right direction for going green. If you live in a populated suburban town or city, think of how many car trips and dollars you can save by doing your groceries on two wheels instead of four. Even if you need to pick up a few extra things at the grocery store, return a book to the library, or check out a park a couple miles up the road, there are so many more benefits when taking your bike along for the ride and leaving your car in the garage. Not only are you saving the environment and your savings account, but you are getting one of the best forms of exercise out there!

While you thought a regular bike was the greenest and cleanest, think again! The Greenhaus, a green design site filled with eco-friendly home products, features the Calfee Bamboo Bike. Made from heat treated bamboo and frames tied with hemp, this sustainable bike is expected to last for 10 years.
