The Environment's Potential Play Into Vintage Bicycling

By Rob Sutter


I believe that vintage bicycling has done much in order to attract an audience, though this probably goes without saying. However, I'm sure that just about everyone knows the specific materials typically needed to make sure this comes into fruition. Whether you're talking about steel or rubber, it's clear that we all have a general idea of what said materials are. However, let's say that the environment itself could play a bigger role in influencing riding in the future. What would you say in response to this?

The Daily Mail's website put up an article talking about a particular ride which has done much to gain my attention. This one not only puts your typical steel to use but it also makes use of seven wood types, which only adds to the intrigue that I have for this model. Dubbed the WOOD.b, it's definitely far different than just about any other you can find in a toy store, for example. I can only imagine how much discussion this would spark if it was put on sale.

With several types of wood which have come into use, from dark oak to chestnut, I think that the final appearance of the ride comes together quite nicely. The appearance in question is one which seems to be appropriate with vintage bicycling put into place. It has perhaps the sleekest design that I could have ever imagined, which only does it more favors in terms of how effective it can prove to be. Keeping style and substance alike is recommended by companies like Linus Bike.

Much to my surprise, more and more authorities has seemingly climbed on board with utilizing wood as a frame for these rides. As you can imagine, I can inquisitive, wondering why this path was taken. Well, after some consideration, I was able to learn that this type of build is much studier compared to products which are man made, which was interesting to me. You also have to consider the fact that elements from nature are put to us, which only makes it more sustainable for those willing to ride.

I am definitely in support of this concept and I hope that more cyclists decide to take it up. To me, it's one of the best procedures that just about anyone can go through, especially when you consider that sustainability seems to come in tandem with physicality. Vintage bicycling has definitely developed over the course of time, hasn't it? However, understanding the methods you can take up to make this way of travel better are up to you to take on for the long haul.
