Tyres for free

I remember some one posting about picking up old tyres for use. If anyone's interested I have a few old tyres that I'm willing to give away. Reasonable tread on a few.
Do you need a new MTB?

OK. So I'm advertising for my mate and my bike store, but let's be honest, this is a bargain. I'd be all over it if it was the right size for me. Anyway, here it is, deal of the year -"Hey all, My…Continue

P'An-Tau Jiricek-Scott replied to durian rider's discussion Tubeless tyres? Worth the effort?"From a MTB perspective - yes. Well worth it. Only punctures that tale me out are destroyed tyres.
Haven't tried it on the road bike. But I don't get too many flats on the roadie."
P'An-Tau Jiricek-Scott replied to Dean Malden's discussion Nix, Bike shorts, Bib"Bibs are what I use.

Also, I run tubeless, so a couple have…"

Michael Warner replied to P'An-Tau Jiricek-Scott's discussion Tyres for free"Haven't heard anything on that front for a while, but any bike recycling program would be able to use them, and surely someone here can put you in touch."
P'An-Tau Jiricek-Scott replied to P'An-Tau Jiricek-Scott's discussion Tyres for free"They're all 26" MTB tyres. Some tubeless ones and some from before I had tubeless systems. My other idea is to donate them to the community workshop if that's ready?"

- I've used my bike as my main form of transport since I can remember. I love MTBing. Got into it about 5 years ago after a mate convinced me to trade up from a hand me down road bike i used for transport to my first MTB (Ironhorse Warrior). From that point on, there was no looking back. I'm looking at getting into racing road bikes. Cycling also got me into triathlons (tinmans so far). I believe the rough road is the best road.

Posted on September 26, 2010 at 23:30 3 Comments 0 Likes
So, as some of you may be aware, I was lucky enough to compete in the 2010 Tour de Timor ride for peace. The tour is a 5 day race around the country of Timor Leste located 600km northwest of Australia.

The presidents idea to use sporting events as a way to promote peace throughout the country and has blossomed in the form of the Dili Marathon, First Ladies cup (a 10km running race) and the… Continue
Road funding sources?
Posted on April 15, 2010 at 12:07 4 Comments 0 Likes
Hi all,
My curiosities have finally been pushed to their limits, and I'm now seeking solid factual evidence of where road funding comes from. I'm aware that the federal government sponsors major national highways/freeways. But the claims of motorists for cyclists to pay registration fees so they are 'entitled' to our right to ride on roads just seems flawed. Firstly, I can't see that the cost of maintaining and developing roads can be solely funded by registration fees…
