My live-in has a passion for building new things out of old and has given a whole new meaning to recycle. He feels he has a mission to rescue discarded bikes out of landfills, back alleys and wherever else they might be. It explains why our backyard looks like this at times.
Some he revitalizes, retunes and re-tweaks. Others becomes parts and they end up looking like this:
We had fun for a couple of years with the Sunshine Cruiser and made use of the Cargo shopping for groceries. They have found new homes since. We are happy that they and their young children are enjoying the bikes. There are still many parts for more building!
His latest project is Lemon and Grapes with a custom paint job.

I love this!! its really great to see that these bikes are being re-used fantastic
Thank you!
What a great idea. It makes recycling cans, paper, bottles and food waste that we do seem so dull!
I’m sure there’s innovative ways of recycling them, too!
