Zurich · Handcrafted Bicycles

Riding is
a form of
identity.

Each Bamboo Cycle is built from scratch -- frame, components, and design -- to carry the soul of the person who will ride it.

Every detail,
intentional.

Bamboo Cycle · Zurich

01

The craft

Every frame begins as raw bamboo. Every joint is shaped by hand. No two builds are alike, because no two riders are the same.

02

The builds

Each completed bike is an independent art project -- its own page, its own story. See the work so far.

03

Your bike

Tell me about yourself, how you ride, what this bike means to you. Every commission starts with a real conversation.

The maker

Grown from the ground.
Built by hand.

Bamboo Cycle is a one-person workshop with a single idea: a bicycle should be as individual as the person riding it. Every frame begins as raw bamboo -- one of nature's most resilient structural materials -- and ends as a rolling portrait of its owner.

I source each bamboo culm for its grain, weight, and wall geometry. I hand-select every component -- groupset, wheels, saddle, bar tape -- in direct conversation with you, based on how and where you ride.

Your colors, your logo, your visual language become part of the paint and finish. No two builds are the same, because no two riders are.

Each completed bike is documented as an independent project -- photographed, written up, and published here permanently. A record of something made just for you.

How it works

From first conversation
to first ride.

01

The dialogue

We talk about who you are, how you ride, and what this bike means to you. No form, no configurator -- a real conversation that becomes the brief.

02

Frame geometry

I select and prepare bamboo culms, hand-shaping each tube to the precise geometry your body and riding style require.

03

Identity & color

Your palette, your logo, your visual language are integrated into the paint and finish. The bike carries you before you sit on it.

04

Build & handoff

Components are sourced and assembled. The finished bike is photographed, its story published -- then handed to you.

"The bicycle is the most efficient machine ever created. Adding bamboo makes it the most beautiful one too."
