Today I found a bike company called Renovo that makes bike frames out of wood. I wish I had more to say about it but I'm kind of amazed at how awesome the look. Anyone want to buy me one. I think they start at $2,000!!!!

One of the projects that works really well for strengthening health systems in developing countries is using bamboo bikes and trailers to be used as ambulances. The idea began in Zambia by a org called Zambikes and the ambulance is called Zambulance:
