In an effort to lead the bicycle industry’s efforts to make our sport more environmentally sound, we have initiated a unique recycling program at Ridley. All frames returned to Ridley, whether through warranty or crash replacement are recycled. Aluminum frames, carbon frames, aluminum parts, carbon parts, are all put into our recycling program. It’s not just the frames and parts, however, we also recycle all boxes, frame cartons, packaging and wrapping material to do our part to leave less of a footprint in our manufacturing process. We build really fast bikes and will continue to push the envelope of technology and we are proud to also put the same amount of energy and emphasis into our new recycling program.

(ANT)ARTIC MATTERS: FROM EXPEDITION TO ZERO-EMISSION EXHIBITION:



Ridley is partnering this artistic project aimed at raising public awareness of the consequences of climate change. In practical terms, (Ant)Arctic Matters consists of twelve containers (each 12 metres long) which have been converted by various Belgian artists to create a travelling exhibition on the theme of climate change. The exhibition will set out from Bruges at the end of 2009 for a three-year trip around the world on board cargo ships. In the energy container Ridley will provide several types of bicycles with which we will generate electricity through a human power generator. Using pedal power to generate electricity is a very effective and creative way to draw people into understanding the power of power.
