Kong Concepts Introduces Grease Monkey Wipes for On the Go Grease Removal Without Water

Austin, TX - Kong Concepts, maker of portable cleaning solutions for active individuals, proudly introduces Grease Monkey Wipes. Grease Monkey Wipes are non-toxic, individually packaged, degreasing towels perfect for cleaning grease off of skin without water.

"Riding around with greasy hands can be just as frustrating as getting the flat tire," remarked Kerry Montgomery, president of Kong Concepts, "and regardless of how often I clean my chain I always seem to get grease on my calf while riding. I wanted to create an affordable cleaning product that was portable, easy to use and highly effective."

Each 2.5" x 4" durable foil package contains an 8" x 7" degreasing towel specially formulated to handle heavy-duty cleaning, including grease, grime, oil, road tar, permanent marker, race body markings, adhesives, and much more. Grease Monkey Wipes are conveniently sized to be kept in a saddle bag, jersey pocket, post-race bag, backpack, glove compartment, toolbox, garage, or wherever one gets dirty.

Although Grease Monkey Wipes are tough on grease and grime, they are gentle on the skin. Grease Monkey Wipes utilizes a rapid cleaning citrus-based formula that is enhanced with lanolin, vitamin E, and aloe vera.

"Grease Monkey Wipes are a no-brainer," commented Jack Murray, owner of Jack & Adam's Bicycles in Austin, Texas. "I am glad to offer my customers a simple, affordable solution for cleaning up during and after their rides. My customers have had a very positive response to the wipes."

Grease Monkey Wipes are made in the United States and are available online at www.kongconcepts.com or at a wide array of quality retailers. Grease Monkey Wipes are currently available individually packaged or in a 24-count box and have a suggested retail price of $1.25 per wipe.

How Cyclists Helped Rethink A Bridge
In the spring of 2009, the Oregon and the Washington State Department of Transportation and other business interest groups were pushing the Columbia River Crossing project, a 4 billion dollar, 12-lane bridge planned to replace the existing I-5 structure between Oregon and Washington. Jamming a 12-lane freeway through the center of Portland looked like 20th century thinking.

Tour De Lance: The Extraordinary Story Of Lance Armstrong’s Fight to Reclaim The Tour de France
Saddle back up and reclaim the Tour de France? Dream on. Sports comebacks are unwieldy animals that rarely go according to plan, or end well. More than baseball, boxing or basketball, bicycle racing offers absolutely no margin for error, no wiggle room, no accommodations for age or motivation.
On the Club Ride
Club life was different 30-odd years ago. Rides were structured and instruction or discipline was often harsh. We were young, malleable and hungry for knowledge. We felt lucky to learn about the sport from seasoned riders. Recently I’ve begun riding with a local club.
