The stray dogs growl and passers-by give us a long look as Bertram Fonseca peddles around a Bambusa on the worn-out cycling track at Bandra's Carter Road. Fonseca, a rare combination of school teacher, offbeat travel organiser and cyclist, has been sought out by us to test ride this new bicycle that comes from the factory of Lawkim Motors, part of Godrej and Boyce, at Shirwal, Satara. The Bambusa, as the name suggests, has a unique bamboo frame. Under prototyping since 2013, the Bambusa was launched on May 1 on www.fueladream. com, where 25 limited edition pieces are available.
