Cool idea to make a Bicycle Tire Belt($30) from a used(recycled) bike tire.
“This tire was rescued from the trash after a tire change at the bike shop. It has little use to it and the tread is barely showing any wear.” Backing is black rubber. Belt is 1-3/4 inches wide, buckle is nickel plated steel.

Like this… The better question would be, Why the hell is it $34,000? That would be because it’s the Factor 001 design and made by Formula-One engineers at bf1 systems. I’m still not sure that justifies $34k but here’s a peak of some of it high tech features.
Almost completely made from carbon fiber, electronics such as power meters and GPS built into a handlebar-mounted touch screen and no head tube. The forks go straight to the handle bars. I would love to ride this but I don’t think I’m that important in their book.
