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 fastener, fenders and finger stalls for fishing (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.
