Not just cycling, but UPcycling! Ba-dumm tsss...
When working with inner tube as a material, make sure to wash all pieces it with soapy water to remove the talcum powder on the inside and potential contaminations on the outside.
Caution: stay away from "no-flat" tubes! Those are treated as hazardous waste due to the chemicals inside.
Inspiration
- you can "weave" rings of inner tube into cool accessories like a backpack cargo net
- need to secure a wine bottle in a piece of wood for some reason? Inner tube is your friend!
- rings glued together side-to-side make super simple soap holders
- make your own extra strong (although short) rubber bands!
