"Life is like a bicycle, to keep your balance you must keep moving." -Albert Einstein
Ive been riding bikes ever since I can remember. Cycling started to become a passion of mine during college as I was always on a bike for transportation and for fun. I love bike polo, touring, fixed gears, beach cruising, mountain biking, and pretty much everything else related to bicycles.
In 2014, I moved to Nashville and started Cycle Nashville, a group formed to promote cycling events and culture. Currently, I am a trip leader for Lightening 100 and lead cycling events quite often. In the summer of 2016, I rode my bike from Vancouver, Canada to the Mexican Border. Since then, I've ridden from Nashville to New Orleans and Pittsburgh to Washington D.C.
Later in the summer of 2018, I was working in a bicycle shop in Nashville, TN when I noticed riders of all skill levels had one thing in common, flat repairs. No matter how big or little the puncture, entire tubes were tossed in the trash and replaced with brand new tubes.
I began to research the life span of tubes and found that they were made of Butyl Rubber, which takes a minimum of 40-50 years to begin decomposition. Thus, creating quite an environmental footprint when considering the astronomical amount of inner tubes discarded each day around the world.
I set out on a mission to find alternative purposes for the discarded materials and stumbled upon a need for a new collar for my dog. That began the journey known as twowheeledtreats.com, where each product makes a difference in decreasing the environmental impact caused from product waste.
