Studio Team
My name is Marty Odlin, I am the cofounder of the Bamboo Bike Studio.
I also do work on the Bamboo Bike Project and at the Center for Sustainable Engineering at Columbia University.
I like surfing, skiing, camping, fishing, and building things with my friends.
The Studio is about sharing our experiences and passion for building with like minded and interested people.
