A bundle of Old Mountain Bikes

[Tengu]

On the scrapheap (Where Im not allowed to go but they know full well I cant resist a peek.)

Im sure I could have them if I asked nicely.

What would you do with them??

Love those bike fences, I guess spiky ones are made from unsaddled unicycles....

Rob.

PS Tengu i have no idea what to make from them apart from a childs roundabout/merry-go-around, I remember a local park had one that looked like a spiders web made from scaffold tubes.

i'd probably take the best-looking one to restore (and use!) and a few spareparts from other bikes...

There are some really good ideas in that and for some reason I really like the one where they are all just welded together and sprayed black - but the one with the guys standing on their bikes is not a "bike fence" , it's guys watching football or something over the security fence without paying for a ticket!

Bodge some up to power a rotisserie, either hand crank or foot crank....

Take what you'll use & pass the rest on to a charity that refurbishes for needy individuals/countries

I once made a spinning wheel out of a couple of old bikes.

Canoe cart/dolly, trailer for bicycle, snow(ski) bike, tow along hitch-bike for small children, single wheel bike trailer, a bike rack made of bikes, a coat or hat rack/hanger, etcetera...
All ideas I've found on the Web at some point... Good luck!

A recliner bike or whatever those are called where you lie down and bike

Recumbent, I think you mean^
