Bambike Road Trip - The Bamboo Bike Builders of Victoria, Tarlac

Ruben and Reggie head up north to the Bambuilders in the municipality of Victoria Tarlac! We picked up some freshly built bike frames, dropped off some raw materials, and shared stories with the Gawad Kalinga community who have been at the heart of our production.
