mountainFLOW Bike Towels: Microfiber with NO Microplastics

Nothing beats a good shop towel. But all too often, beloved shop towels are made from microfibers which in turn, are made from microplastics. Rest easy, though. mountainFLOW's Bike Towels work incredibly well without the use of microplastics. Ever. 

 Why We Love It

At mountainFLOW, we are committed to creating products that not only perform exceptionally but also align with not f****** up the planet. Our bike towels are a perfect example of this. Here’s why we love them:

1. Eco-Friendly Materials: Crafted from both cotton and bamboo, our bike towels are made from natural, renewable resources that are gentle on the planet.
2. No Microplastics: Unlike conventional microfiber towels, our towels do not shed microplastics into the environment, protecting our watersheds and trails.
3. Superior Performance: These towels are highly absorbent, quick-drying, and incredibly soft, making them perfect for cleaning and polishing your bike without damaging the frame.
4. Durability: The combination of cotton and bamboo fibers ensures long-lasting durability, even after multiple washes.

Why They're Better (Than Existing Microfiber Towels)

Microfiber towels have long been a popular choice for bike cleaning, but they come with significant environmental drawbacks:

1. Microplastic Pollution: Microfiber towels shed tiny plastic particles during washing, which can end up on trails, in watersheds, etc. harming ecosystems and eventually bioaccumulating in human blood. 
2. Synthetic Materials: Most microfiber towels are made from synthetic materials like polyester and nylon, which are derived from petroleum and are not biodegradable. 

In contrast, mountainFLOW’s bike towels offer:

- Natural Fibers: Our towels are made from cotton and bamboo, both of which are biodegradable and have a lower environmental impact.
- No Microplastics: By using natural fibers, we eliminate the issue of microplastic pollution.

Do They Work?

Absolutely. Our bike towels are designed to provide exceptional cleaning performance. Here’s how they stand out:

1. High Absorbency: The natural fibers in our towels are highly absorbent, making it easy to wipe away dirt, grease, and moisture.
2. Gentle on Surfaces: The softness of cotton combined with the silky texture of bamboo ensures that our towels are gentle on your bike’s finish, preventing scratches and abrasions.
3. Quick Drying: Bamboo fibers help the towel dry quickly, so it’s always ready for your next ride.
4. Durable and Long-Lasting: Our towels are built to withstand repeated use and washing, maintaining their performance and appearance over time.

When to Use Them

Our bike towels are versatile and can be used in various scenarios:

1. Post-Ride Clean-Up: After a long ride, use our towels to wipe down your bike, removing mud, dirt, and grime.
2. Polishing: Give your bike a final polish with our soft, gentle towels to keep it looking its best. Pairs extremely well with our Bike Polish 😉
3. Regular Maintenance: Use our towels for routine maintenance tasks like cleaning the chain, gears, and other components.
4. Drying: Quickly dry your bike after washing to prevent rust and water spots.
