The 'extended' About BSC>>>

BSC was created as a means to recycle used bikes into useful, wearable accessories. We started with belts, and wallets, things commonly made with leather, and produced with cheap materials and labor overseas. Since then we've expanded our line and sold hundreds of items, and spared the environment in several ways: our main raw material is vulcanized rubber bike tubes, collected from the the backdoors of bike shops, mostly locally; we keep these tubes out of the landfills they would otherwise be sent to; we locally source our hardware as much as possible; everything is hand made, using a minimal amount of non-renewable energy; we inspire people to buy products that use non-animal sourced materials, which account for a major portion of our negative impact on our living and non-living environment.

Basically, we're doing things the best ways we can, for the benefit of everyone involved. Thanks so much for supporting us (and your environment)!

Where do we get our tubes?
Past: Spin Cycle, Gator Cycles, Super Cool Bike Shop (GNV, FL), We've also gleaned in Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater, Portland, OR, and welcoming shops in other cities we visit.

Recently: Most of the tubes now come from the most generous HUB Bike Co-op (TC, MN)
