Better to fix a bicycle puncture than bin the tube

The EU passed a law yesterday so that customers will be able to have their products repaired, rather than binned.

At last we are coming around to the nonsense of the throwaway society.

Anyone who cycles a bicycle and does not repair it themselves will know that when you leave a bicycle into a bicycle shop for repair of a puncture, the tube is binned and replaced with a new tube.

What a waste. Anyone know a bicycle shop that repairs punctures? It might be time consuming but it absurd to throw out tubes that can easily be fixed.

It offers potential for a new business.
