RECYCLE YOUR TYRES IN THE NAME OF FASHION

Recycled belts

We?re all different, so why not express your individuality and do your bit for the environment at the same time? Velo-re is a small (they only have three employees) but very cool company based in London that turns used bicycle tyres in to functional and fashionable belts.

Old tyres are collected by bike on a ?trailer run? around London's cycle shops. On one occasion I spoke to Bettina Galizzi from Velo-re she was doing just this. She apologised for being out of breath when I called, saying she had a trailer loaded with over 80 tyres! Keeping it real, how cool is that?
