No, my goal is primarily to recycle, so all the bicycle parts I use to make my products are too worn out to be used on a bike and were originally destined for disposal. The same goes for the tractor inner tubes I collect; they are old tubes that have been patched up one or more times.

I collect the majority of used bicycle parts from the bike repair shop where I work, occasionally from other workshops, and through donations from individuals. The old tractor inner tubes come from my brother, who is passionate about restoring vintage tractors.

You can wash your belt by hand using dish soap or soap, with a soft brush or sponge. And don't worry if it accidentally goes through the washing machine, it will come out even cleaner!

The tires are meticulously cleaned before being transformed into belts, so there is no risk of them dirtying your clothes!

For each item (except for oversized items, which are automatically shipped with tracking), two types of shipping options are offered to the customer: standard shipping without tracking or shipping with tracking. By default, the chosen delivery method is "without tracking." To have the postal delivery of the order tracked, the customer needs to select the (paid) shipping upgrade option in their Etsy shopping cart to avail themselves of the order's postal tracking.

The first thing to do in such cases, if you have opted for shipment tracking, is to check the tracking status of your order using the tracking number received on Etsy. For shipments within Metropolitan France, it is a cause for concern if more than a week has passed. For shipments to the rest of the world, the delivery time can be up to 3 weeks in case of customs clearance. In all cases, the reason for the delay will be explained on the tracking page. As a last resort, you can visit the post office with the tracking number of your shipment to report the issue.

It is entirely possible to pick up your order at my workplace (Cityzen'Bike store, 4 rue du Faubourg de Saverne in Strasbourg); simply let me know through a message or order comment on Etsy, so we can schedule a meeting, and I will refund the shipping costs to you.
