    Pretty sure this was on US Dragons Den and it got laughed out due to the cost. I’m like, yeah cost is pretty high initially but when the hell we gonna move on from rubber?

        You do realize harvesting rubber from trees means lots of cut down trees in the Amazon, and most rubber in tyres is actually synthetic

          I do know most rubber is synthetic, but even making it from fossil fuels we will have enough that we will never run out.

      People these days pay more for bike tires than car tires these days already. There are $10k bikes now. Seems there’s no amount of money some people won’t pay for bike parts these days.
