Advent, Day 23: Bamboo Bike Workshop

Dear readers,
Join
 The Maine for an adventure a day, each day of this advent season — big or small, by land or sea, with friends or solo, in image or word, exuberant or contemplative, real or conceptual. We live in a state of wonder, its wide open spaces anticipating our
hope and joy.

During the first week of this month my good friends from New York, John and Gina, spent some time in Camden taking back-to-back workshops at the Bamboo Bike Studio on Bayview Street. After eight days of intense learning and work they traveled back to the city (via the incomparable Concord Trailways) with two newly handcrafted DIY bikes — one single speed and one multi-gear. ADVENTure twenty-three is on wheels.
