The Rouleur Podcast
Rouleur Tech Podcast - Sustainability in the bike business
•
Cycling should be one of the greenest of activities, but how ecologically sound is the bike industry? Modern materials, disposable products and a world-wide supply chain all contribute to a bigger carbon footprint than you might think. Host Dan Cavallari talks to some of the people making a difference. Former pro riders Peter and Martin Velits run Isadore Clothing which uses recycled materials and minimal packaging. And Andy Miller of Revel Bikes and Why Cycles talks about their recyclable wheels and reusable bike boxes. But no-one seems to have an answer to the product described as 'evil but essential'. What is it? Listen to find out.
