Do you have any creative ideas on how to reuse old tires? I have some at the end of their life and I think that throwing them away would result in them not being recycled anyway. Any ideas for inner tubes is welcome too
Edit: Thank you everyone for the answers. For those who want a summary, the suggestions are chain stay protection, edge bumper, water insulation, rubber bands, hanger for repair, elastic fasteners and fenders (or throw them in the fire place)


If you have a bike storage/workshop/garage, you could hang the inner tubes from a nail in the ceiling rafters and use them to hang the bike when doing repairs.
Another thing to make is those elastic fasterners, by sewing a hook on each end of a part of tube.
