Bicycles are already pretty "green" for themselves, so working with bikes and promoting cycling make us an environmentally better-than-the average company.

However, we love our planet even more than we love bikes, so we have took additional measures to reduce the impact of our business.

• We keep used bikes on the road, saving energy and carbon emissions associated to brand new bicycles.
  
• We literally save bikes from the dump, reducing waste.
  
• Staff at LEZcycles commute by bike. Actually we test ride our bikes for sale in our daily commute. (when collecting bikes we normally use a motor vehicle. Sorry, sometimes we need to pick up 30+ bikes in one go!).
• When posting parts, we reuse packaging (if you prefer brand new packaging please let us know).
• We buy most our new parts bulk (no silly packaging). That way a great deal of waste is saved (most of modern bike parts are fancily packaged to look appealing to the customer, but inside the part is exactly the same)
• We try our best to source British made parts. Our cables and many brake pads are FIBRAX®, designed and manufactured in the UK. Unfortunately we need to source other parts from Taiwan (as probably anyone else) to be competitive. 
  

• We use Green Oil® for chain lubrication. We might use other less environmentally friendly lubes for specific tasks.
  
• We do our best to turn old, broken and worn parts into useful things again (tyres reborn as belts, tubes as protectors, etc).
  
• Many of the furniture in our shop has been recycled or rebuilt from discarded timber.
• We don't use power tools unless is strictly necessary.
