Like Carbon fiber, wood is a fiber which has holes inside for water which contain air. So, when the wood gets a shock, it expels the air much like a sneaker sole. This absorbs the majority of the shock and provides a seamlessly smooth ride.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8yj9Sl60Bi9qvH-s7-Jj1myHl_DFM7WxiA0hxhff_tHzeDl1hyphenhyphenL4g8hKhYQvhWj7wM_z3dqJ0ekkSFAOubeOMebGbQPKm6OfnZ9wrxdZhm5OesR_NBR1XsKyFem_uFgo3Mbwal05EpHc/s1600/07_2011_01_15_145502.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577762963220975218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8yj9Sl60Bi9qvH-s7-Jj1myHl_DFM7WxiA0hxhff_tHzeDl1hyphenhyphenL4g8hKhYQvhWj7wM_z3dqJ0ekkSFAOubeOMebGbQPKm6OfnZ9wrxdZhm5OesR_NBR1XsKyFem_uFgo3Mbwal05EpHc/s400/07_2011_01_15_145502.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; width: 527px; height: 395px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKrVQMNIm8qvIlV12OuRf5lXFcxLkUz0ctRgPFJKgA_DfaPUR7rchfNOA5mtrLVmZL8PLes9K8Bfkb6vFyqavUDMUTuQVo1MmZAlLmriZy4ilQXiEwLIocit2EkZ2oUkM0B706OkmvfTA/s1600/09_2011_01_15_145528.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577762750712592418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKrVQMNIm8qvIlV12OuRf5lXFcxLkUz0ctRgPFJKgA_DfaPUR7rchfNOA5mtrLVmZL8PLes9K8Bfkb6vFyqavUDMUTuQVo1MmZAlLmriZy4ilQXiEwLIocit2EkZ2oUkM0B706OkmvfTA/s400/09_2011_01_15_145528.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; width: 527px; height: 395px;" /></a><br /><br />Despite the fact that many people see his bikes as a 'design project', Sano considers safety and functionality first.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR_VIdQ3lACEqSjvbOoqoX3NEWqJ-r_wNvlmNnaLyFo8RZxfzESWeDrD8C3vLHDXkr-Tusn-1oMKJLltNkEzz0onZHJchYruy73Wdmafv6PbLK0uJCzbjV52A9vz9wFCjVY-YXLoJn2sE/s1600/workshop.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577769746521905394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR_VIdQ3lACEqSjvbOoqoX3NEWqJ-r_wNvlmNnaLyFo8RZxfzESWeDrD8C3vLHDXkr-Tusn-1oMKJLltNkEzz0onZHJchYruy73Wdmafv6PbLK0uJCzbjV52A9vz9wFCjVY-YXLoJn2sE/s400/workshop.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; width: 523px; height: 392px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">above: The Sanomagic workshop</span></span><br /><a href="http://sanomagic.world.coocan.jp/Lineup/english_sanomagicbikelineup.htm"><br />Mahogany Bikes made by Sueshiro Sano.</a>

The latest PUMA Bikes are named after islands in the Atlantic Ocean. This method is grounded in the Trans-Atlantic inspiration behind the bikes’ design, where smart and practical European design meets laidback, urban American style.<br /><br />Disko Island is a large island in Baffin Bay, off the west coast of Greenland.<br />Funk Island is a small island northeast of Wesleyville, Newfoundland, Canada.<br />Nevis Island is an island in the Caribbean Sea, located southeast of Puerto Rico.<br />Pico Island is an island in the Central Group of the Portuguese Azores.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Colors</span><br />Flashy against the gritty city. PUMA Bikes boast bold color combinations. From lemon yellows to funky fuchsias to ocean-glass turquoises, the colors are likewise inspired by vibrant island color. They fit the Trans-Atlantic theme and defy the expected.<br /><br /><a href="http://us.puma-bikes.com/" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484588091528434002" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTZNvnIzRXuY6cTB3dZQr18HEbYOW_3INlXHP3wSKnFgn4ywPsbxU1c_8iovlZ0Wx6UiIq71sHDysEEWmsG67qsiLJuIGfE3u1oXb1Pw5bSgE_cfxfYsDThXMEd-YYiUrsalBgxDdDZbl5/s400/logos.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 376px; height: 216px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >all images and information courtesy of <a href="http://us.puma-bikes.com/">PUMA.</a></span><br /><a href="http://gan.doubleclick.net/gan_click?lid=41000000011899745&pubid=21000000000226422"><img alt="Puma_English_10-19-2006_468x60_ani.gif" border="0" src="http://gan.doubleclick.net/gan_impression?lid=41000000011899745&pubid=21000000000226422" style="width: 517px; height: 66px;" /></a>
