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.

E.P.I.C. — Where the Fun Begins
Perhaps the greatest thing about mountain biking is the diversity of one trail to the next and how each trail has its own character — whether it’s the climbs, descents, its flow, length, “explorability,” the technical aspects or simply the destination itself. What exists in Washington State alone is all the reason needed to get out and do some epic trail riding.
Cycling at a Different Level
Paralympians are an emerging group of athletes and the Paralympics has experienced rapid growth. The International Olympic Committee and United States Olympic Committee have recently made a change in their charter to support both Olympians and Paralympians.

Opinions

Helping Out While Wearing Tweed
Sign of the times: the indication for setting my bottles and cans outside for recycling day was three deep when I came out of the house. This being Portland, though, the trio of homeless gents rode brand name bicycles; one was smoking American Spirit cigarettes.
...And the Fans Go Berserk on the Roadside
I’m riding on the road around Cherry Creek Reservoir, a light-traffic training loop for Denver cyclists. Inches from my elbow a cyclist passes without a nod or wave or any acknowledgment of my presence. He’s going one mph or so faster than me, passing as if we’re in a race....
Gone To The Dogs
Panic, adrenaline, flight, that brief window when you don’t know if you’ll outrun chomping canines, until a final kick of speed and a few braveheart howls gets you over. Few activities shock the monkey like a good sprint to safety ... allowing you to live more fully in the present.
Stupid is as Stupid Does
She rode on the left side of the path, the wrong side, the side oncoming cyclists, skaters and runners use. There was no reason for her choice of the left side, but that’s where she’d stay. Occasionally, she’d drift to the right but soon she’d be back on the left. I remember wondering if she drives her car on the wrong side of the highway.
