Hmmm... I'll have to go take some photos, and hunt down other photos soon. I burnt up my Fiat 500 Starter Motor Cable long ago, and it has been replaced by a bicycle brake cable. Occasionally needing replenishing as the drilled bolt cuts through it.

I've also used brake and shifter cables as wires for picture hangers, been doing that for eons.

I've got to have a few more bike parts around here.

Spokes can be as versatile as wire hangers.

The Bike Coop has a set of 16" or 20" wheels that they use for the reusable tags for their bike valet. Clip the tags to the spokes in the wheels when not in use, then clip one to the bike, and give one to the customer when the bike comes in.

I didn't do the config, but my powder coat booth uses a wheel like a steering wheel to allow the powder coating rack to be turned.

Bike related, of course, but my heavy hauler trailer uses two 16" Schwinn OCC wheels.


I bought this bird feeder a while ago. I'm considering whether I want to keep it as a bird feeder, or restore it as a bike wheel.
