Cycling with Team Rwanda —
Errol Barnett trials a bike made entirely from wood, in Musanze, northern Rwanda. The bikes are so heavy and difficult to brake that they are banned from main streets.

Francois Bizimana is one of Musanze's best makers of wooden bikes. He was once hospitalized after an accident on one.

Wooden bikes made from acacia trees can be used to transport loads of up to 300kg.
