    If you’re like me, you cringe a little whenever you put a little synthetic oil on your chain or send some toxic cleaning fluid down the drain. Seems to me that people with bikes are more likely to care about their environmental impact, and also more likely to pay more for quality gear and accessories. These sustainable bike care products from Orontas let you and your bike feel good.

    There’s cleaner, lube, grease, and… more lube. They’re all non-toxic, plant-based, and biodegradable, so you don’t need to worry about slathering it on. You can find a store where they sell it nearby you (there aren’t too many in the US, unfortunately), or buy them online; the bottles run for about $13 each, which is more than you’d pay for a bottle of Brand X, but that’s the price of righteousness.
