Come Draft with Us - Sustainable Bicycle Gifts

Along with pleasant spring skies and sunny days perfect for biking season comes a plethora of Bike-Inspired Design – everything from bicycle gear clocks to rehabbed furniture made from bikes, this has got me rearing to get my own butt in gear!
Make space instantly! I found these very practical and minimally designed ceiling hoists for your bike – perfect for small spaces that require the edgy charm of a bicycle. Simply mount to the ceiling, hook on both ends of bike and with each pull it clicks to lock. Best part: they’re supremely affordable and sell for around $15. Some homes boast fancy light fixtures, why not exhibit your Trek? Available at Amazon.com.
Waking up to the tick tock of a bicycle clock may just help you get out of bed to hit the trails! Made from recycled gear parts and chains, this sets up a playful yet functional conversation piece. Besides being made from sustainable recycled materials, even the non-biker would appreciate its cool design. Available at BrightandBold.com.
Hip vintage bicycle art is a fantastic way to brighten any space. This wall art is available in several different sizes, on a green or white background. Features both canvas and framed art, printed with eco-friendly inks and mounted on sustainable wood. Framed art starts at just $55. Available at ModernMural.com.
Designer Andy Gregg produces bar stools, chairs and more are made from recycled bicycle parts; side tables use glass from auto windows all to create modern furniture. Gregg was influenced from his years biking and does nothing less than impress. All host beautiful arcs from bicycle wheels, some bent gently to create fluid design. Donated materials from old bikes will warrant a discount on a purchase. If you like the look of aluminum, steel and rubber here’s the place to go for something truly one of a kind. Available at BikeFurniture.com.
