BIKING NEWS

The MacGyver Approach to Winter Biking – Zip Ties!

Treehugger.com - Michael Graham Richard, Ottawa, Canada

The trick of making studded bike tires with zip ties isn't new, but with winter here, it's worth noting once more.

Riders can accelerate, brake and corner with aplomb, even on the snow pack/sheet ice mix the plows leave in the bike lanes.

The zip ties dig nicely into the hardest packed surfaces, but they’re thin enough not to bounce the bike around at low speed or on short pavement sections.

RECYCLING

Recycle Match – What is it?

Whether your company is working on zero waste goals, or looking to source reuseable, upcycled or recycled materials instead of virgin raw materials, RecycleMatch can help.

They are an internet marketplace dedicated to matching companies that have waste with companies that can use the materials productively. RecycleMatch keeps the companies confidential, while using the internet to tell the world about the hidden resources that are in their dumpsters.

It’s a great way to save time and money, while saving the environment.  READ MORE
