National Bike Month
May is National Bike Month and the perfect time to get out and ride with your family, co-workers and friends.
Polyurethane technologies have enhanced the biking experience for riders. We all know how uncomfortable bike seats can be; however, many bike manufacturers take advantage of polyurethane foam in their bike seats to help ensure your ride is smoother and more comfortable.
Another polyurethane technology that has revolutionized the biking industry is the invention of breathable fabrics. Scientists discovered that polyurethanes could be combined with nylon to create an array of lightweight, stain resistant and elastic garments. Polyurethane fibers are often characterized by their durability and flexibility, making it a great material for biking athletic wear.
Now go outside and enjoy the great outdoors by going on an adventurous, and comfortable, bike ride!
