It would be cool. Call it the original carbon fiber. But it’s old news. Bamboo bikes were around as long as bikes have been around. No lie. But yeah, bamboo rocks. My favorite fly rod is an old bamboo model from the ’60s.

Sweaty, skinny men wander around France for three weeks bumping into each other and breathing heavily. Every morning they wake up with sore asses but still ask for more. Paris celebrates when an American named Lance rides up the Champs Elysees before some German (History repeats itself?)

“Felix Baumgartner has become the first person ever to fly across the English Channel without the benefit of an aircraft, gliding from England to France wearing only a specially designed flying suit.”
