Remember back in the day when riding our bikes was the bomb?

I can recall coming home from school and racing to the shed behind my house to pull out my bicycle. As a child this is our main source of freedom. Since we certainly don't have a driver's license or car yet, a bike is our sole form of transportation. Yep, this is how we can get away from it all. How often did you ride your bike down to the local mini-mart, or possibly take a spin to the local park? The limits are endless. I even remember my favorite bicycle brand back then. It was Mongoose. Those were the elite two-wheelers, and every kid in the neighborhood wanted one. What kind of bicycle are you pedaling around these days?

When it comes to bicycle brand, do you know which one to choose?

This can be a rather difficult process. Especially these days since there are a variety of bicycle brands to choose from. Back in the 80s it wasn't so hard. As I recall, we had Mongoose and Diamondback. These were the Ferraris and Porsches. And it wasn't just because they cost the most. A great deal went into a quality bike.

First of all when choosing a bicycle brand, one should pay close attention to the craftsmanship.

It's not all about looks. You want a bike that is constructed as sturdy as possible with the finest lightweight metals. This not only reinsures your bicycle's resilience, but it also makes your freestyle skills more applicable. A heavy bicycle can really slow you down. I can remember how much we all loved to show off by jumping ramps, doing bunny hops and riding wheelies. I always admired those kids who could ride a wheelie down the entire street. How did they do that?

Well, if you are in search of the perfect bicycle brand, then you may want to browse the Internet highway.

There are literally loads of bikes to choose from. However, with the World-Wide-Web you can easily do price comparisons with a number of websites. Find the absolute best deal on the bicycle brand of your choice. Sort through professional reviews in order to further your knowledge on which bicycle brands stink, and which received the highest ratings.

With the plethora of bicycle options at your very fingertips, you are sure to pinpoint that bicycle brand and model of your dreams.

Armstrong World Industries is a famous company that specializes in home improvement.

This renowned company is currently implementing a Ceiling Recycling Program that is designed to help the environment by using recycled materials in its production of new Armstrong ceiling tiles. This program has used more than six million square feet of used tiles to create new ones. The recycled materials were found in landfills across the country.

The program is unique in that it allows people who are ordering the Armstrong ceiling tiles to send their old ceiling tiles to the company. The plant recycles the old product in the process of creating new tiles. They even pay for the shipping which can be quite expensive for larger projects.

The Ceiling Recycling Program was first introduced in 1999.

Since then, the company has recycled over six million square feet of used tiles. This is enough to cover one-hundred-and-twenty-five football fields. All of this material would normally have been left in the landfills. The production of the Armstrong ceiling tiles has helped the environment greatly over the past seven years.

There are three steps in the program. The building owners consult with the company to make sure that their materials can actually be recycled. The old material does not have to consist of Armstrong ceiling tiles to qualify for recycling. They just have to be made of quality material.

Next, the owners of the building pack the materials and contact the company and the company makes the appropriate arrangements for shipping the cargo to the plant. This can be done anywhere in the continental United States area. The program does not work overseas. However, Armstrong ceiling tiles can be shipped nearly anywhere.

Owners who are unable to offer material to be recycled can still order Armstrong ceiling tiles that are made from recycled materials because all of the ceilings have some recycled material in them. In fact, most of the Armstrong ceiling tiles is made of used product, averaging about two-thirds of the finished goods.

The industry is not only using used materials in the Armstrong ceiling tiles.

Many other goods produced this manufacturer are environmentally friendly as well. It is good to know that a large industry is taking such leaps in making sure that landfills are not overwrought with items that can be used again and again. Other companies are following the example found in the Armstrong ceiling tiles as well.
