Take a ride through Ghana, Africa, and you’ll likely see many people riding around on bikes made of bamboo. It’s strong, affordable and creates plenty of jobs for the people of Ghana. Booomers International is one of the leading social enterprises creating the bike frames being ridden around the country.
Back in 2009, Booomers joined forces with Craig Calfee’s bamboo bikes company Bamboosero to train rural youth to manufacture a bamboo bike. Now, strong, sustainable and environmentally friendly bamboo bike frames and bike stands are being sold worldwide and creating a sustainable economy model for rural areas in Ghana.
Booomers creates different sized bike frames for city bikes, road bikes and mountain bikes. Bamboo is both lightweight and strong, which makes it perfect for a bike frame, but just in case, each purchase comes with a three-year warranty.
Every summer, they organize a tour to explore Ghana and all of its attractions on the bamboo bike. The tour comes with accommodations, food, security and basic supplies. After the tour is over, you get to keep the bike.
For more information on how to sign up for the tour or to order your own custom-made bike frame, visit booomers.com.

More specifically, Kona Village has its very own Mai Tai Mile, where guests can find four unique and different takes on the Mai Tai.
