KOTA SAMARAHAN, Aug 24 — Sarawak Timber Industry Development Corporation is targeting to start commercial production of bamboo bicycles and start selling them as early as January next year.
Hashim also informed that STIDC is looking to produce four types of bamboo bicycles; namely the mountain bike, road bike, street bike and a leisure bike. One of the steps taken by STIDC before they eventually start selling the bamboo bicycles is to train people on how to make them. With that, STIDC hopes that the trainers will train more Sarawakians to build bamboo bikes in the future.
