Organic Athlete, the first vegan cycling team, is partnering with Calfee Design to ride, co-promote and help develop their bamboo bikes. The team's message of personal health and social change now manifests in the form of a green, renewable bicycle. The elite team, started in 2007, consists of athletes who focus their diets on whole, plant foods and eschew animal products.

In addition to adopting a sustainable plan for their diets and bikes, the Organic Athlete team will also ensure all paper use and carbon emissions are offset by their 100% Replanted program.
