Recycled Tire & Tube Messenger Bag

The Recycled Tube and Tire Messenger Bag is made from old inner tubes and bike tires. The materials are practically indestructible so why not wear it as a bag instead of throw it in a landfill? The Messenger Bag is 14.5" long, 10.5" tall and 2.5" wide. It has an adjustable strap that can go as short as 22" to as long 46". This cool messenger bag has a flap that fastens with Velcro and on the inside there is a cell phone pocket, pen holders and a pocket divide. **Please note that customers who have purchased this bag have said it is not as big as they expected. The measurements are accurate, but the tire rubber is not as flexible as other materials so it may be a tighter fit than a fabric bag of the same size.

With only 3 Fat tires on the ground (lost one en route to the race, my BAD), the mower descends into Fierce mosquito territory! Photo by Alex O'Leary
Made from a defunct Honda 3813 lawn mower/tractor, now a 2 person pedal powered
amphibious, all-terrain machine...by virtue of losing a front wheel en route to the race, it was run as a trike, putting all right side weight on the right rear axel. That broke off on day two, after 18 or so miles. We welded on a bike fork as a crutch /cripple wheel on the right rear corner and finished day 3, with 1 1/2 miles of water & 4 more miles on land, with 2 wheel chair wheels, one 20" BMX wheel, and one remaining Hoosier....pitiful.
To get over the last low sort rises, I had to walk backwards on the remaining Hoosier
to drive the mower forward. My next, current machine uses that 'tire walk' method as the sole steep uphill propulsion means. Kicks butt, too!

This little buggy I made for a friend, the late Michelle Mantay, who was a quadraplegic with some use of her arms and legs. She pestered me lots to get this built. This was in '97.
We ride it all over, and in parades and what-have-you we get up to 6 kids riding on it. Its construction is pretty obvious, and I put 16" moped tires on the 20' BMX wheels to keep tire maintenance low and extremely durable. It is entirely made of recycled materials, altho' I built the seats. Alas, Michelle died a few years back, and her family said to not 'rush' to return it. I would never have built it were it not for her wishes. R.I.P. Michelle.

Splaff Flopps products are all made with recycled race car tires, bicycle Inner tubes and hemp. They are hand-crafted and are produced in a 100% waste-free, earth-friendly process in which all left over materials are either re-used or recycled. They collect, sort, cut and clean the recycled tires and bicycle inner tubes themselves to guarantee the quality of the recycled materials they use. As these wallets are made from recycled rubber they may have traces of print that can be taken off with a solvent.
