We’ve come across examples of bicycle inner tubes upcycled into a variety of items: jewelry, wallets, furniture (see photos of ‘em here).
Now here’s a different use: as an organizer/holder (for keys or other small items), made from inner tubes and tire valves attached to a piece of MDF.
The holders are available via a German DaWanda shop (here) that also sells key rings, handbags, coin purses, mobile phone cases, and other accessories.
(Spotted on Recyclart.)

Your dad rode a fixie before you did and he’s got the track stand skills to prove it. He was a fearless street champion of the blacktop velodrome that fought steel giants for riding room. He gave the pedal honeys hot saddles when he showed off his fixie tricks and made road bikers look like bitches. He was rolling seduction with a single speed and the cadence of a hell-beast. 

So hipsters, next time you’re skidding the back tire around or blowing through a stop sign because you can’t stop, remember this…

Your dad was the first to know you don’t brake what is already fixed. 

Thank you to njsideshowbob-tumblr for submitting today’s photo.

  5. Pedestrians, skateboarders and motorists—two notes on cyclists:

    a) Cyclists can be identified by the presence of a helmet and the absence of a $50 wal-mart bike. People without helmets riding wal-mart bikes are just people on bikes, not cyclists; engage them at your own risk.

    b) When walking, riding a skateboard or driving, and you see a cyclist coming your way, do not change direction, stop moving, speed up or slow down. The reason being that the cyclist has already calculated your trajectory and is already thinking about the next 3 obsticles, and if you change your path there will be an accident.

    Thank you.
