BOULDER, Colo. (BRAIN) — Green Guru Gear will be at this month's VeloSwap in Denver to collect old bicycle inner tubes.
VeloSwap, billed as "the world's largest consumer bike show," will be held Saturday Oct. 18 at Denver's National Western Complex.
Green Guru will be able to collect used tubes from consumers, vendors and retailers at the event. The tubes will be diverted from the landfill and then upcycled into new bike gear. "In years past we diverted hundreds of tubes and hope to double that this year," the company said.
Green Guru will operate an upcycling demonstration at VeloSwap, with a bike-powered sewing machine used to transform old tubes into wallets on the spot.
