These bamboo bikes from the Akomplice x Panda Bicycles collaboration turn 'The One' fixed-gear bicycle into an even more stylish cycle that fans of animal print will enjoy. The bikes let you borrow the stripes and perhaps even some of the speed of the zebra, but it's a unique bicycle in more ways than one.
Since Panda Bicycles' The One bike frame is made from bamboo rather than metal, the bike has greater tensile strength and flexibility. In addition to this, bamboo is able to grow extremely quickly—about four feet within about 24 hours—which makes it a super sustainable material source. The stylish bamboo frame bike is sold through the Akomplice webstore for a price of $2,500.
