The Monopolitan — Spain — June 2017
In June 2017, the Spanish-language lifestyle and design site The Monopolitan featured Bamboo Bicycle Club, introducing the project to a Spanish-speaking audience in their own language. The piece framed BBC as a project and a community rather than just a product.
"Bamboo Bicycle Club es un proyecto que nace con la intención de motivar a las personas a construir sus propias bicicletas de bambú."

The article told the now-familiar story: founded in 2012, BBC began as a weekend workshop in London where people came to build their own bamboo frames. As interest grew from other cities and countries, BBC moved to a home-build kit model — packing everything needed to build a bamboo bicycle into a box and shipping it worldwide.
"Bamboo Bicycle Club se ha convertido, hoy en día, en una comunidad de entusiastas movidos por la idea de revolucionar la manera en que nos transportamos, ofreciendo una alternativa ultra personalizada, durable, económica y amigable con el medio ambiente."

The Monopolitan described BBC's kits as shipping to "decenas de países" — dozens of countries — capturing the international reach of the build-your-own model and its appeal to a Spanish-speaking audience drawn to craft, sustainability and a real alternative to mass-produced bikes.
