Citrus Degreaser Hand Towels and Biodegradable LubeGrease Monkey Wipes are eco-friendly hand towels because they are made from a natural citrus cleaning agent that comes from the rinds of oranges.
Cyclists can use them to clean chains, down tubes, seat posts, derailleurs, chain stays, and many other bicycle parts. Cycling commuters can keep a wipe in their messenger bag to use in the event of a flat tire or dropped bike chain. Apply Yelo Velo Milky White Lubricant after cleaning a chain with a Grease Monkey Wipe. It is also non-toxic because it is made in the USA using biodegradable plant oils and ceramic powder. It is a high performance lube to be used on derailleurs, chains, and cables.

Nite Ize LED Bicycle Lights
Nite Ize bicycle lights are designed to be easily shared amongst cyclists and used on multiple bikes. Each LED light provides visibilty with two modes: flashing and steady. In addition, they are lightweight, weather resistant, and durable.
- LED spoke bicycle lights are great for riders looking to increase visibility to motorists and reduce the chance of a crash. They are ideal for kids because they are easy to install, uninstall, and come in fun colors. Cycling commuters can use them to announce their presence to cars during times of low light (e.g., fog, dawn, dusk).
- LED elastic leg bands serve two purposes: increased visibility during times of low light and secured pant legs. The LED light comfortably sits on the outside of a pant leg and provides visibility to oncoming and passing motorists. The adjustable elastic strap ensures comfort and a secure fit around many styles of pants.

Commuting by Bike
Riding a bicycle to work, to class, or for errands is a great way to limit our carbon emissions and dependency on oil. However, choosing bicycle gear can be challenging and we understand the importance of owning reliable, high quality gear. Therefore, we have started reviewing products that we personally own, commute with regularly, and have reviewed for your convenience: Niner SIR 9, Giant Boulder, CoPilot Taxi Bicycle Child Seat, Kryptonite KryptoFlex Combination Cable Lock, Shimano Clipless Pedals & Shoes, and Planet Bike Front and Rear Bicycle Lights. In addiiton, bicycle maintenance can be easy but is often frustrating so we have documented the following maintenance procedures with step-by-step instructions and pictures: Bicycle Cleaning and Preparation, Cantilever Brake Adjustment, How To Add Tire Sealant and Rear Derailleur Adjustment.
