Alright first off, I really do trust the strength of bamboo and its general ability to not snap in half. My problem is that the bar that goes from the handle bars to the rear axle only appears to be on one side, that really doesn't seem to structurally sound, I'd make two bars like that one and cross them to opposite sides of the rear axle underneath the crossbar. And the other thing, I really hope bamboo doesn't swell with water, otherwise the thing could work great one day, then the next after a rainy night all the bamboo would be rattliing in those sockets. Not sure if thats a problem with bamboo but it's something to look into.
On a little side note, I would never ride this thing. It looks like an easy way to see how good bamboo can pinch skin. (Note the point where the cross bar intersects the bar running from the handle bars to the rear axle)
I don't suppose anyone here would know how much an album would cost if I didn't want it on a cd/tape or in a fancy case with cover art? I would assume it would be cheaper... the question is how much? It would cut people out of the sale, but really, how much do you suppose a band and their label and what not would charge for just a copy of their songs from an album?
I like the guffaw, one of my favorite sorts of laffs actually (for all you non-nerdy folk who don't distinguish between different laughs, the guffaw is a short bursting kind of laugh, some what impulsive and ends suddenly, like the laugh you'd do when your grandma's corpse farts at her funeral) Anyways back to the matter at hand oh wise one. What if it was a non-profit orginization dedicated to archiving the works of modern artists in a secure manner which is near impossible to dispose of, like oh... I dunno, spreading various works over millions of "data archives" throughout a decentralized network. You think they'd bite that? I'm sure a congressmen could easily squeeze it in to a proposal for more money needed for interstate upkeep or somthing.
Cheers!
