As we all know, bikes are mainly made of steel (钢铁). But can you imagine that they can be made of bamboo? Do you want to know how a bamboo bike is produced? Do you want to make your own bike with bamboo? You can do it at the Bamboo Bike Studio (工作室) in New York. People there can teach you how to make your own bamboo bike.
The studio is also helping build factories in Ghana, which is a country in western Africa. The factories will make cheap bamboo bikes.
Bamboo is as good as steel for building a good bike. Marty Odlin works at the studio. He says a bamboo bike is the wonderful everyday bike.
In Ghana, bikes are very popular. Few people have money to buy a car. And people like to use bikes to carry most of the country’s food and other goods.
The people of Ghana are also too poor and they can’t build factories to make traditional steel bikes. But making bamboo bikes is cheap. Odlin is planning to show the Ghanaian workers how to quickly make bamboo bikes now. He hopes that more and more Ghanaian people can have bamboo bikes.

We go to many places every day. How do you travel? Do you usually walk or ride bikes?
In a modern city, there are many ways for you to choose when you go travelling. If you are busy, you can take a taxi. Taxis don’t need to stop often on the road. And the driver can take you anywhere you want to go, but it is too expensive. Of course you can also choose to take the subway. It is safe and quick and you don’t pay a lot. When you aren’t busy, you can take a bus, so you can enjoy the scenery(风景) of the city on it.
If you want to get some exercise, travelling on foot or by bike, may be good for you. Walking can make you healthy and it is very cheap.
Today, many people have cars. But I think it isn’t a good thing because there are many cars in the street. They have to move very slowly and it takes more time to get to the places they want to go.
