    It’s certainly a step in the right direction.

    Alpkit are already very good at this. The past few items I’ve bought from them had no plastic packaging and were made 100% recycled materials.

    Are the clothing manufacturers gonna start ditching those bloody awful plastic tags that either hold their garments together (gloves/pads etc) or hold the price tag along with all those junk bits of cardboard that tell you how hi-tech the fabrics are?

    More greenwashing from the marketing departments. Just accept there is nothing green about mountain biking. Stop sending people half way round the world to make an advert. Stop using batteries to power bikes and save way more than a bit of plastic that will still go straight in the bin

    My first reaction was meh, too.
    But then a journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step. Better this than carry on with what’s gone before and hopefully the next step will be ONLY sustainable packaging, then distribution, then manufacturing, then products…

    And can Maddison get Shimano to stop sending unnecessary plastic bags with unnecessary A0 sized instructions in 143 languages that I don’t need for every chain, shifter, cable and cassette I buy.

    Oh… and USB charger cables in every item that uses a rechargeable battery. I really don’t need another!

    They could also make bikes out of metal? And be powered by nothing but human muscles!
