David Wang resigned from his job in 2014, and rented two rooms at Langjia Alley, Beijing. He opened his own studio, "Beijing Bamboo Bicycle".

他与工作室成员罗明宁，雷布齐，每个人都有一个属于自己的竹自行车。

After finding so many abandoned old bicycles, David brought back some to home, replaced the broken parts, and renew the bicycles. In 2013, David made use of his after work time to renew the bicycle by using bamboo as the main frame. He found out that this kind of bicycles are more light, but also stronger and tougher.

在发现小区和胡同里大量的废弃自行车后，他征得同意，将一些搬回家中，更换废弃的零件，让自行车焕然一新。2013年，王大卫利用下班时间，花了半年的功夫，摸索着用竹子为主骨架制作了一台自行车，这样的自行车轻便结实，给了他很大的启发与灵感。
