Perfect! And at the end we would not have to gather wood for a bonfire!

Their questions section says they carried 600lbs of cargo on a bamboo bike, so you'd probably be fine.
That said, aside from the novelty factor, I'm not sure why you'd get bamboo instead of a steel frame for significantly less (and send the $ difference to the charity of your choice if the charitable aspect was important to you).

I should have been more clear, sorry. I found the concept of me riding bamboo funny. I just bought a bike that I am IN LOVE with and I am guessing the wife would not be to keen on me buying ANYTHING else.
It IS a pretty interesting bike though:)
