The challenges of the mode of production

Despite this progress, the bicycle industry is still faced with challenges, in particular with regard to the sustainability of the production methods. According to a report by cycling.de , bicycle production is often characterized by a linear economy that leads to waste and environmental loads. It is recommended to upgrade existing bicycles instead of regularly buying new high-end models.

Some manufacturers who put environmentally friendly materials and production methods in the foreground put a positive trend. Continental has developed a tire that consists of dandelion rubber, which contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions. The recycling of tires and hoses through Schwalbe is also a step towards sustainability in the industry.

Dahon invites cyclists and environmentally conscious drivers to actively shape the future of green mobility and to point out the importance of environmentally friendly decisions at Earth Day 2025.
