* [[Wrapping Handlebars With Old Inner Tubes]]
 
The Urban Bike Project of Wilmington recycles old inner tubes for cheap (free) handlebar wrap.  There are only a few steps involved.
 
1. Cut the valve off an old inner tube.  One tube should be enough for one set of handlebars.<BR>
2. Use scissors or a razer blade to split it long ways down the middle (it doesn't have to be perfect).<BR>
3. Wash the pieces to avoid getting black stuff or talc all over when you ride. Let dry.<BR>
4. Follow normal handlebar wrapping procedures and secure with tape.<BR>
 
The wrap should last a year or so depending on use and weather conditions.
