We know that cycling is great for the environment and that by commuting to work or school by bike you are already making a great contribution; but what if we told you there's something else you can do to save our planet?
The Bicycle Hub is absolutely delighted to be in partnership with Cycle Of Good to now offer a inner tube recycling service in Cheltenham.
We're helping Cycle Of Good to collect old and used inner tubes (without the sealing slime) for recycling. The tubes are then sent to Malawi and quality goods are handcrafted by some really talented tailors.
The initiative helps tailors in some of the world's poorest places so that they can earn a decent living and support their families. What's more is that all of the money that is made from the sale of the lovingly handcrafted goods, pays for childcare and the social enterprise in Malawi.
So if you have a few inner tubes lying around in your shed or garage and you are passionate about recycling and doing your bit for the planet, stop by The Bicycle Hub in Cheltenham and we'll do the rest!
Look! Here's a box that we've already sent...they'll soon be made into a great handcrafted gifts!
