According to the Solid Waste District of LaPorte County, Indiana, There are at least 300 million scrap tires in stockpiles throughout the US.

Imagine a perfect reuse for these items - reincarnated to serve a different mode of transportation: bicycles. A simple cut pattern was developed to splay-open the tire. The embedded steel belts in the tire tim and woven threads in the tread provide zones of security for fastening.
