<p>update...</p>
<p></p>
<p>was in Performance Bikes tonight (halsted/diversey) and noticed they had a blue recycling bin by the door filled with tires and tubes. I asked the manager and he affirmed they have a corporate agreement with Liberty Tire to recycle them and it was free of charge for anybody to drop them off. He said they were getting ready to send out a big shipment of them next week.</p>

I called to find out where Performance routes the tubes and the PR gal didn't have exact info but said it's a partnership with <i>Liberty Tire</i>-- we may have got our first solid lead in the tube recycling quest :-)
