At this point, it's not even about "if it's good for planes then it must be good for bikes". CF composite material has proven itself over multiple decades to be strong, durable, and lightweight, with excellent properties for making lots of products. Bike frames, forks, cranks, stems, seatposts, handlebars, etc. are some of them. So are many other aircraft, auto, aerospace, sports, medical, etc. applications. It's not a mystery material.
