These recycled bicycle innovations prove that a broken bicycle is just one inventive idea away from being made into something better.
A broken wheel or seat would normally be considered a death sentence for a bike, but these recycled bicycle innovations prove that there is such thing as life after death for these two-wheeled vehicles. You can wear your broken bicycle as a belt, or even give one of its parts as a gift. The choice is yours -- just don't trash it.
