: Waldmeister Bikes

By: g | No Comments » |

Nothing like posting about something out of the left field. Previously we showed you a bamboo bike, so this time around is a bike carved out of wood.

“At first glance, the use of wood really seems to be nothing more than a nostalgic memory of the good old times, a last salutation to a natural material which has accompanied the cultural development of humanity for thousands of years. On closer inspection, however, one discovers that the frame, with all its visual elegance and the typical emotional warmth of wood, was built with so much technical ingenuity that it is a groundbreaking example for the usage of natural materials in the 21st Century.

The special charm of the Waldmeister lies in the harmonic fusion of the natural substances wood and leather with high-tech materials like carbon and titanium and in the reduction of everything to the basics. We are striving to produce the Waldmeister bike as environmentally friendly as possible. Therefore, we use durable components produced by companies sharing our philosophy of sustainability. It is our principle to use only domestic woods for our bike.  The frame is made out of PEFC-certified wood stemming from sustainable forestry in the Teutoburg Forest.  We use FSC-certified wood for the optional inlay.”
