I keep forgetting to give a big shout-out to Adam and the people at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike for being so nice to me and saving tubes for me.

This Bag Wins the Coin Toss
Re-Velo Coin Purse
This is now my favorite inner tube bag. I use it to carry cash, biz cards, coins, and swim fins. My cell phone fits in it too!
OK, swim fins won’t fit. But I love this little bag. This one measures approximately 5 inches wide by 3 3/4 tall. It’s from a wider mountain bike tube. Most are not this tall. Here’s the back. Not as much going on on this side. But every tube is like a snowflake, unique and beautiful. Only tubes aren’t so melty.
This little beauty can be yours for just $11.

Sewing Rubber is Fun!
Yes, hard to believe but it’s true. Thankfully I have access to an industrial machine. The mighty Rex. It’s tough to sew – OK, impossible – on my home sewing machine.
Here’s a beauty shot.
The tubes are cut to the correct size and ready to be made into lovely and useful Re-Velo bags.

I’m a Coffee Achiever
Am I the only one who remembers those weird commercials? But in fact, I AM a coffee achiever.
And I so want a new espresso machine. Mine is 15 years old and not made to take the daily abuse inflicted on it by 2 coffee addicts.
I read the Coffee Geek reviews and I’ve determined that the machine I must have is anything over $900. And I need a $500 grinder. My needs are simple.
Long Coin Purse
The Re-Velo Long Coin Purse / Pen and Pencil Case is indispensable for carrying pens, cash, cards and phone. Toss it in a bag, purse or backpack and your stuff stays protected and together!
This bag features a chain link for the zipper pull. The Long Coin Purse measures approximately 7 inches long x 3 3/4 inches tall.
Inner Tube Wallet
This simple design is small, sleek and mighty! My handy wallet holds several credit and business cards and folds so nothing falls out of a bike jersey, pocket or purse.
Some wallets may have raised lettering or a painted logo as each tube is unique. I create all wallets from re-cycled mountain bike tubes I gather from a variety of local bicycle shops. You are sure to get a one-of-a-kind item!
Save a tube from the landfill! Go green with your green! Only $7 and your credit cards and favorite photos could be riding in style and comfort. I also tuck a $20 in mine just in case!
- 4″ wide x 3″ tall closed. 5 and 3/4 inches tall when open.
