Bike Tube Recycling


by

I'm a little late on this, as it already started, but it isn't over.

A typical bike shop will throw out a few thousand inner tubes in the course of a year. All those tubes add up to tons of waste when you think about all the bike shops in the Baltimore/DC area. Performance Bike, however, is teaming up with Liberty Tire to sponsor the Bike Tube Blow-Out over the next two weekends, which will take place at Performance’s new store in Columbia, MD. Anyone who brings in their flat or unused tubes, from August 13th-15th and 20th-22nd, will receive a $5 in store credit, and can trade in up to 3 tubes for a total of $15.

These “Blow-Outs” have been hugely popular in other cities, and the hope is that bringing it to such a major cycling-heavy metropolitan area will mean even more saved material from the city’s landfills.

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
