A few years ago, Los Angeles resident Bryce Edmonds noticed the various recycled ingredients listed on a grocery bag: Aluminum, rubber and plastic.

In a flash, he realized they were the same materials used to make bicycles. That single idea turned into a prototype for a bicycle made form 100-percent recycled aluminum, and the startup company ReCycle was born.

Now ReCycle is seeking pledges on crowdfunding web site Kickstarter to move its prototype bicycles into production. The company has developed three prototype designs: The MBula, the Moshi Moshi and the Mudmaste.

The mBula is named after toasts on the beaches of Fiji because of its smooth look and feel. Moshi Moshi is a Japanese word for “hello,” and the bike is a fixed gear with a flip-flop hub and styling. The Mudmaste is named after the Nepalian term for God-worship, “Namaste,” and the bicycle is an all-terrain design that is made to collect mud from roads and trail and get the riders places where others dare not travel. Not only are the uber-green bicycles made from 100-percent recycled aluminum, but ReCycle also utilizes other sustainable materials such as cork in the saddle and handlebar grips.

As of Dec. 6, the ReCycle Kickstarter project has 27 backers who have pledged a total of $6,170 of the $105,000 project goal—but there’s 25 days to go. ReCycle is accepting pledges of $5 or more, and even the minimum amount gets the pledger a Tweet and Facebook shout out, plus “Ma Earth’s nod.” Pledges ranging from $35 to $75 will earn the backer a variety of ReCycled merchandise, like water bottles, T-shirts and hoodies. The real goods kick in with a $2,000 pledge. At that level, the backer gets to ride off on a Moshi Moshi. The mBula and the Mudmaste are awarded for a $2,500 pledge. The catch: ReCycle’s builder needs an order of at least 50 bikes to create the designs at a reasonable cost. So for any of the three designs to be delivered, ReCycle must receive 50 pledges for each.
