I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about how bikes aren’t the zero-environmental footprint vehicles they might seem. Petroleum based chain lubes have got to figure somewhere on the list of environmental impact (for a bike), along with tire manufacturing, plastic parts, and various other sundries.
Thinking of reducing your bike’s environmental impact? Ernestolube’s 100% soy oil, US grown according to their site. I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, and I’ve got to admit there’s a little light that goes off in my head every time I get a whiff of the bottle of my favorite petrol-lube.
Ernesto’s not the only game in town, Pedro’s Chainj is made from good old Canola, and I’m pretty sure the enterprising among you can find source of similar oils at your local grocer.
