I saw a tall bike in my area on Sunday. It got my son and nephews asking a ton of questions so I thought this might be a good idea for post. It was, about 6 months ago when they were all over the blogosphere.

I did find what I thought was an interesting reuse of something that usually gets tossed. Bandit signs are all over the place during elections. What happens to them afterwards? They get thrown out! When Jack “Ghost Rider” Sweeney needed to make custom fenders for his bike, he took advantage of this natural resource and made a clean, sturdy fender.

While this is not a hi-tech hack, it does give a look into re-using things in ways they were never envisioned. This is something I find exciting. <via bikehacks>
