Belts made from bike tyres buy tyre belts

I take old bike tyres destined for landfill and transform them into cool and environmentally-friendly trouser belts.

Each tyre is cut, washed and handcrafted into a belt by me at my workshop in rural Northumberland, UK.

They come in several widths and styles. They make the perfect gift for cyclists.

Limited premium tyre belts are also available which are often coloured or have the tyre's logo made into the securing loop.

Other Tyre Belt Makers

I have discovered other tyre belts available online. I thought my idea was unique and I was unaware of the existence of these other manufacturers until I researched the possibility of selling my belts. It is perfectly possible for several people to have the same idea independently.

I do know that my belts are cheaper and of at least equal quality, if not better.

The main outlet for belts online seems to be Howies, the very cool ethical clothing makers. Howies’ belts are not made by themselves but by Velo-Re.

Unlike the Howies belts, I use the tyre’s sidewall to make the belt’s securing loop whereas the Howies belts use a section of the main tread which is wider and chunkier. It is a matter of personal choice which you prefer.

I believe I offer a better choice of belts: 4 different types of standard belt plus the opportunity to buy a specific premium belt individually. Decide for yourself by viewing my Online Shop

Welcome to Tyrebelt.co.uk – Handmade Belts made from Old Bike Tyres

I have been selling these belts on ebay for some time now and they have been well received by people who have bought them. Selling on ebay is a hit and miss affair though and rather expensive so I have created this site as a better way to promote them.

I still often have belts listed on ebay – my ebay id is dunc9ql if you want to have a look or check my feedback.
