Imke's Amersfoort-Built Bamboo Bike
Imke built this at Bamboo Bicycle Club Amersfoort. Now it rests on Dutch dunes, perfectly suited to the landscape.
The Veluwe or similar heathland provides the backdrop — sandy paths through pine and heather, the kind of terrain the Netherlands offers beyond its famous flat polders. Gum-wall tyres handle the loose surfaces.
Brown lugs keep the palette natural. That sprung saddle adds classic comfort for long rides. The whole build speaks restraint — no loud colours, no flashy components, just considered choices that work together.
Tim's Amersfoort workshops extend our reach into the Netherlands. Dutch builders get local instruction while connecting to the wider network. Imke learned in Amersfoort; the bike now explores Dutch paths.
The heath behind stretches toward distant trees. Winter light, bare branches, the quiet beauty of off-season riding. Some people wait for summer; others find this silence preferable.
Building at a satellite workshop means local community and global connection. Imke's bike carries Amersfoort skills to Amersfoort terrain. The circle completes. 🇳🇱
