Reasons to use our products

The Eco-Rider Set

- None of the Green Oil range contains PTFE

- We are introducing 100% recycled plastic bottles

- Our products are all totally biodegradable

- We love bikes!

Simply, the Green Oil range is the greenest bike maintenance range around. And as a cyclist, hopefully you care about the environment too!

The chemical PTFE used in rival brands, especially in chain lube is harmful to the environment and not biodegradable. Riding a bike should be about your health and the environment, as well as pleasure and practicality.

Bicycle lubricants containing petrochemicals often even say explicitly 'dangerous for the environment' on the back, with numerous health warnings. Unlike these, our products are good for the environment and safe for your skin.

All Green Oil bottles are re-fillable and we have clear recycling information. We also use easily recyclable plastics in our bottles and have compatible plastic labels. The entire Green Oil range is totally biodegradable after its life on your bike, and is petrochemical free. We also like bikes, we are not a just a chemical company which makes a few bike products on the side!

Cycling should be greener, and Green Oil UK are making it so. Our solar powered bike lights are a part of this too. This means you no longer have the problem of battery disposal, nor do you need electricity to charge them, reducing your carbon footprint further. You just need the sun, or in the case of the Pedalite Eco-Pedals, less than 1% of your pedal power.

The environment and your health are important. Join the revolution!

Solar powered bike lights

Solar powered bike lights? No, its not as crazy as it sounds. The Baglite and Anklelite are great, charging up during the day, to be turned on at night, for up to 6 hours of light from a day's charge.

The Baglite has two bright lights at the front, and a red light at the back, making you visible to cars. The Baglite fits to your rucksack, so is also higher up than a regular bike light, making the rider more visible to cars and lorry drivers.

Featured as one of The Guardian's 'Top Five Cycle Show products' The Anklelite stops your trouser leg from getting ripped by those cogs, and provides a bright orange light for cars to see you from the side. This is great at roundabouts, as often cars cannot see the rider from the side if they only have a front and rear light.

The complete Green Oil range of bike maintenance products is now available from our shop. If your local shop does not yet sell the Green Oil range, please ask them to!

Clean Chain is our revolutionary degreasing gel. A blend of 100% natural ingredients, Clean Chain uses the power of nature to clean your chain. Simply apply it like a lubricant, then ride around for a couple of minutes. Wipe the chain with a rag, then with a wet rag or brush. Rinse your chain with water and you'll have a clean chain. (Hence the name Clean Chain!)

With Clean Chain, you can degrease your chain without taking it off the bike. The highly concentrated formula can also be used as a refill for a 1 litre bottle of Green Clean. Simply poor a 100ml bottle of Clean Chain into an empty 1 litre bottle, then top it up with water. This will make one litre of Green Clean, our 100% natural bike cleaner.

Clean Chain can also be used one part, to three parts water in a chain cleaning machine. If you have not seen one before, click on the link below. It basically makes cleaning your chain very quick and easy and can even save you water. Its like four people scrubbing your chain with a toothbrush at the same time but with no mess.

Green Clean is a 100% natural bike cleaner. Its huge 1000ml (yes 1 litre!) bottle has a trigger spray, giving you a choice of a wide spray, or 'water pistol' squirt. Simply spray Green Clean onto your dirty bike, leave it on for a couple of minutes, then wash off with a wet rag and brush. Finally rinse your bike down with water, (use rain water to be extra green) and then dry off.

A 1 litre Green Clean bottle can be re-filled with a 100ml bottle of Clean Chain, and water. This saves carbon dioxide emissions from transportation, and your wallet. (A Clean Chain bottle costs just £3.60, and rain or tap water costs next to nothing).

Ecogrease contains no petroleum, and no Teflon. And don't worry, it doesn't contain wale fat or any other animal derivatives. Ecogrease does contain a small quantity of African bee's wax, but the rest is a blend of 100% plant extracts provided by nature.

So is it for chains? No - greases are for bearings, and bike parts you don't want to seize up, like quick release pins or seat posts. Greases are not usually used on bike chains as they are thicker and can attract dirt and grime when on a chain. For your chain, we of course recommend Green Oil, our award winning chain lube.

Green Oil is a wet chain lube. The non-irritant, non-hazardous formula is suitable for on and off-road riding and all riding conditions.
Green Oil contains no solids like wax, Teflon, graphite or plastic, or any environmental nasties.

Green Oil is not based on petrochemicals and contains no palm oil

Our whole bike maintenance range is environmentally friendly.
