Trek Bicycle: Great Bikes and Environmentally Conscious

The fact is you can recycle pretty much everything. From appliances to eyeglasses, almost everything can find second life as a new material or be reused as something similar.

Trek Bicycle announced in April that it will start full-scale scrap carbon fiber recycling at its Waterloo, Wisc. manufacturing facility, giving new life to a material that was once just discarded.

Carbon fiber is used frequently for frames because it’s affordable, lightweight and strong, but many other components are carbon fiber-based as well.

Trimmings from parts as well as accepted warranty frames are collected and shipped to Material Innovations Technologies in South Carolina. The carbon fiber is then reclaimed and used for a wide range of new applications in recreation, automotive, medical and aerospace.

Trek already partners with Alchemy Goods to recycle tire tubes, which are one of the most commonly replaced bike parts. Trek dealer stores send tire tubes to Alchemy, which uses the material to make Bontrager bags.

Nominated Best Road Race Bike for 2010 - Trek Madone 6.9

  Bicycling Magazine has announced its Road Bike best of class for 2010. Here's their review of the Trek Madone.

RACE ROAD:
Trek Madone 6.9 $8,305

Perhaps the most recognized race bike in the world, Trek has continued to revamp the Madone into one of the best-performing race bikes as well. It's light, very well outfitted right off the showroom floor (including deep dish carbon clincher wheels) and praised by testers as a fantastic climbing machine as well as for its excellent vibration damping qualities through the OCLV2 carbon frame.
Testers Said:

The ride feel of the Madone is superb, very smooth yet feels connected to the road.

It's a subtle speed that maximizes comfort and agility all in one. The Madone is a very fun bike to ride.

It's one of those rare can't-go-wrong purchases for anyone on the fence about what is the best race bike for his or her own particular style.
