What:

Recycling Stations to collect bike tubes, wetsuits, climbing ropes, event banners and more that would otherwise go to the landfill are collected in our easy to set up stations that we help manage.

How:

These stations are at many local businesses and bike shops around the front range.  To find a station near you visit our website. http://www.greengurugear.com/recycling.html

People simply drop off their unwated or unusable items and we are able to pick them up and upcycle them into usable durable products.

The Facts:

In 2011 Green Guru turned 4,450 pounds of bicycle tubes into stylish gear.

The Green Guru Bicycle Tube Recycling Program has been collecting and upcycling since 2005 and is continuing to grow at a hungry pace because an avid bicyclist can go through an average of 2-3 tubes per year.

Perhaps the most amusing part of the SF Bike Expo was the Pedal Savvy Fashion Show.  Green Guru Gear was featured on many of the models in what apparently was their most successful fashion show yet.  There was a large diversity of bike fashion shown off by both men and women riding their bikes down the runway.  Unfortunately no one accidentally rode their bike off the stage, that would have been hilarious. 

Here are links to a New York Times write up of the event and a photo gallery from the show.
