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 on 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 
• We buy most of our new parts in bulk (no silly packaging) that way a great deal of waste is saved.
• 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 some parts from Taiwan (as probably anyone else) to be competitive. 

• We use Green Oil® for chain lubrication where we can.
• 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.
