Who is BUCK!T?
“Hi! We’re Craig & Jamaica, and we run this bicycle-based, eco-business in Girona, Spain. We produce handmade products from a variety of upcycled bicycle parts, tyres and tubulars of all colours, styles and descriptions!” – BuckitBelts.com
“We travel absolutely everywhere by foot or bicycle and don’t own a car, never have! Wherever possible we use sustainable methods, products and materials. The tyres we use are donated by Pro-Team mechanics, customers / fans and our local bicycle shops – every belt is one less tyre in landfill!” If you live in Girona, use this link to donate tyres.
BARbag: What is it?
“BARbag is a compact handlebar-bag; handmade my us from ~90% UPcycled materials; using upcycled tubular / tubeless tyres (and other bicycle parts) combined with quality new materials (zip + velcro + ripstop) and attaches easily to all shapes of handlebar (road, gravel and MTB), providing extra storage and freeing up your pockets!” There are three sizes on offer: 1.4, 1.9 and 2.5 litres. This is a review of the UW model, which can hold 1.9 litres of goodies. Note: sizing does vary ever so slightly due to tyre-stock and hand-production.

“BUCK!T is essentially a one-man-factory! Apart from our labels and fabric-tape; all the other parts are prepared, combined and finished by Craig himself; including the packaging! This means that we can only produce a certain quantity of items each week, especially as these bags require a lot of work to complete!”
