We’ve seen a number of “upcycled” products, and Jason Lauritzen’s Simple Wallet is one that lives up to the name. He has taken used bicycle tubes and created ride-read wallets – which can be used even by those that don’t bike. This creates a nice use for tubes that might otherwise end up in a landfill.

Tube Top
Finding a good use for a used product is what we like to see. We’ve seen efforts to “upcycle” used bicycle tubes, and the Vaya Bags new Bike Tube Laptop Bag truly gives new meaning to the concept of Tube (Lap)Top. Since the shell is made of recycled bike tubes the bag is completely waterproof, making it perfect for computing in the wet spring weather.
