recycling

West Broadway

although this shop does sell new, high-end bikes, they also take the concept of 're-cycling' somewhat literally, refurbishing old bicycles of all kinds, and selling them for very reasonable prices...with my old bike having rusted out, it is tempting to pick up some new wheels here

It certainly does look like they've taken recycling to the next level. Great composition and the colors are really wonderful here.

Love this colorful shop front and it's array of recycled cycles.

I've got a bike
You can ride it if you like
It's got a basket
A bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could
But I borrowed it.

Great colourful scene, what a good use for older bikes, you should treat yourself. v

Certainly difficult to miss the shop with this color scheme. A worthwhile cause as well to recycle the cycles.

Recycling the cycles! You'll have to let us see a photo of your new wheels (if and when you take the plunge!) :)

Do it! If you are lucky, you will pick up a very cool bike that will make all the hipsters jealous :)

For example, I am trying to track down an old Raleigh three speed. The one with the rod brake system (no cables) specifically to go to coffee shops on :)

I need to get a life...

Great image, voted.
