There is something special about your first bicycle and taking it out for the ride for the first time. It is actually more special than that first bike ride or the first time you own a car. Being a little kid, a bicycle is almost like flying machine that gives you new found freedom. I still have mine preserved with great care and even if it is considered trash, it is too special for me to let go off. But what about all the other bicycles that we use over the years and throw them away as a part of that huge pile of metallic trash? Here is a fine new way to make sure that they no longer just fill up the landfill or are a part of that little ball of metal that has been crushed and made in to nothing useful.
Resource Revival is a US company which collects discarded bicycle parts throughout the United States and transforms them into a number of items, including clocks, picture frames, tea lights and bottle openers. The company has a great range of products that have been made from recycled bicycle parts and it is also fine way to keep a part of your old special bike with you for the rest of your life. The gifts vary from a picture frame that looks metallic to a clock that looks mechanical and wonderful.
With the space available for landfills becoming smaller and smaller and trash only growing in a geometric proportion, it becomes very essential that we come up with new ways that allow us to use old gadgets and reduce trash. This is indeed a cute little way to make sure that the once favourite set of wheels that drove you across the city is still with you in some fashion!
