I need a stretchy giant rubber band like item?

Im making a bow and need basically a thick, giant rubber band or something like that that can be hooked together and not split

Answer
When I was a kid, we used latex surgical tubing to make some pretty powerful sling shots. We also cut up old inner tubed from bicycles, motorcycles and trucks but they don't stretch as well as surgical tubing.

I should point out that with a normal bow, it's the bow that flexes, not the string......

What's wrong with kids bikes these days?

When I was a kid, I rode my bike everywhere, school, piano lessons, work, college classes, the store. Aside from a tune up here and there and having to top off the air in my tires I never had any trouble. My kids are a different story. They ride their bikes to school ( 0.9 miles) and not a day goes by without a popped tire, lost chain, broken brake cables you name it. "Mommy, can you drive us today my bike....?" is a chorus I hear every day. My husband fixes them only for them to be messed up the next day. Their bikes are not top models but I think descent (Giant, Specialized, Huffy). Why all this trouble? I think it is unreasonable. Any bike experts can tell me what I'm missing?

Answer
Send your husband to bicycle repair school. Most bike shops offer classes. You really have to know preventative maintenance and what to look for in the mass produced bikes.
Get a spare bike or two to keep those kids peddling off to school - that's awesome these days.
