As we think about ways to start transitioning away from fossil fuels, we need to look at the little things we do (or don’t do) every day that might help. For example, riding our bikes more. But… what about the petroleum product you use to oil your chain? There’s no alternative to that, right? Wrong.

mountainFLOW‘s new line of plant-based bike products is the answer. Similar to ski wax, nearly all the bike lube on the market is made from petroleum. But just like their eco ski waxes, mountainFLOW’s lineup of lube, grease and wash is biodegradable and works just as well as any comparable petro product. Their products also smell a lot better and don’t feel icky if they get on your hands and clothes.

Bike Lube – All Weather

One bike lube to rule them all! This All Weather light oil works great in just about every riding condition and can be used on mountain bikes, road bikes, e-bikes, tri-cycles … you get the idea.

  • Plant-Based and Biodegradable
  • 0% Petroleum  
  • Fast + Smooth
  • Riding Conditions: Moderate/Mixed

Even the bottle is eco-friendly! It is made from 100% Post-Consumer Recycled plastic. 

Bike Lube – Dry

The only non-toxic, non-flammable Dry Lube on the market. Apply to chain, wipe clean and let dry over a few minutes and you’re ready to ride. Works best in dry and dusty conditions. 

  • Plant-Based and Biodegradable
  • 0% Petroleum or alcohols  
  • Fast + Smooth
  • Riding Conditions: Moderate to Dry

Bottle made from 100% Post-Consumer Recycled plastic. 

Bike Wash + Degreaser

This Bike Wash + Degreaser can do it all. Strong enough to cut through grime on your drive train and delicate enough to use on all of your components. 

  • Powerful Plant-Based Cleaner
  • Biodegradable
  • Non-Toxic

The spray bottle is made from recycled cardboard with a thin plastic bladder. It uses 70% less plastic than a traditional plastic bottle. Boom!
