Featured in Core77: building the "Bike of the Future" at the London Design Museum

Industrial-design publication Core77 covered Bamboo Bicycle Club's live build at the London Design Museum in 2016 — a public demonstration of a bamboo bicycle frame joined with 3D-printed lugs, part of the museum's exhibition programme.

Core77 coverage: "Creating the 'Bike of the Future' in a Live 3D Printing and Bicycle Build at the London Design Museum" (Core77, 2016).

That build placed BBC's open-source, hand-built approach alongside some of the most talked-about design objects of the year, and reflects what the workshops are really about: putting frame-building tools in people's hands rather than selling a finished bike off a shelf.
