Fashion Over Function: Are Off-Road Tires the Right Choice?
  I was recently in a closed-door meeting with an off-road tire manufacturer. The meeting revolved around the look of the tires sidewall and tread and had nothing to do with the tires performance.

Recyclable Climbing Holds: What Sustainable Indoor Climbing Can Look Like
  Climbers tend to be an ecologically sensitive group. But they clamber on constantly changing routes in climbing gyms, potentially unconcerned about the sustainability of the thousands of polyurethane or polyester holds.
