Cycle Dog


My pup is in need of a new collar and I decided to pop online and see what kind of goodies I could get him considering I order so many bike parts a day why not something for him too. 
I have heard of people making wallets and little knick knacks out of old tubes but I was unaware there was a whole company dedicated to making products out of old tubes. 


Cycle Dog makes dog collars, leashes, and now belts for humans, out of recycled bike tubes. Snazzy feature of these products for you dog lover out there,the collars and belts come with a bottle opener. Just another reason for you to take your pup along to the park to hang with you and your friends. Cycle Dog is making a difference by helping us and our pets reduce our carbon prints.
There are over 60 million bike riders in the US. Just because they lost their training wheels doesn’t mean they don’t get flat tires. I  have had many flats in my time as a cyclist, sadly my tubes probably wound up in a landfill, but maybe not...Lanette Fidrych, founder of Cycle Dog, is collecting these tubes so they don’t harm the earth more than it already is. 
Find your local Bike shop and ask them what they do with their left over tubes. 

Cute products for a great cause.
