Sustainable Cycling: Reducing Your Carbon Tireprint

Cycling is inherently green, but riders can go further. Opt for brands like Patagonia’s bikes (made from recycled aluminum) or Vélosophy’s frames crafted from repurposed Nespresso capsules. Maintenance matters too: Regularly oil chains, patch tubes, and donate old bikes to programs like Bikes for the World.

A bike’s lifecycle emits 95% less CO2 than a car. Cities like Oslo now reward cyclists with tax breaks, incentivizing eco-commutes. Even small acts—using biodegradable cleaners or upcycling tires into belts—add up. As climate urgency grows, cyclists pedal at the forefront of change.
