Cycling on the roads of the Basque Country is a danger due to the existing traffic. However, the road situation is related not only to accidents but also to wheel drilling.

A new type of wheel, the “green wheel”, has recently been launched in the UK. Although it seems that it is a green wheel with the name, it is called this because it is a totally recyclable product. The wheels have been rubber, but this type of wheel is made of microcellular polyurethane foam, recyclable material.

Recyclability is not the only advantage of this wheel. The duration is also no joke, as it lasts four times longer. The tests have been performed under the most demanding conditions and the results have been spectacular.

As for the price, at the moment it is more expensive than usual (4,000 sts. is valid), but as the sale increases, the price drops.
