OUR JOURNEY
At Netham Bamboo, cycling is a family affair. Co-founded by siblings Andy and Laura, our company’s love of pedal power stretches back to 1920s Bristol, where Great Grandad Eddie built and serviced cycles from his back garden workshop.
Inspired by Eddie, our passion is to support and promote cycling – still one of the greenest and healthiest ways to get around. But we recognise that the resource intensive, high energy processes involved in the manufacture of modern steel, carbon, aluminium and titanium frames generate a hefty carbon footprint. Our search for a sustainable and ethical alternative led us to bamboo – its strength, sustainability and environmental credentials make it the ideal material for eco-friendly bikes.
Combining Andy’s bike wizardry with Laura’s passion for the environment, Netham Bamboo is committed to building a future where cycling is even better for our planet and its people. Working with our partners in Ghana, we offer high-quality frames that have been designed in our workshop.
ETHICS
Our bikes not only help the planet, but also its people. We’ve teamed up with a forward thinking organisation in Ghana, who are making a positive difference in their communities. Each frame that is purchased help create sustainable jobs and equal employment opportunities.
QUALITY
Using only the choicest bamboo, each of our frames is expertly hand crafted over 40 hours. We have taken years to finalise the designs of our frames making sure that they are made to the highest standard that will last a lifetime.
SUSTAINABILITY
With Netham Bamboo, you’re not just buying a bike, you’re investing in the planet. Our bikes are only constructed from sustainably-sourced bamboo and our production methods ensure minimal impact on the environment.
