It is time to get your holiday art groove on by taking the broken and worn out bike parts you are holding on to for no reason that anyone but you can understand and making a reindeer.
All you need are some zip ties, a few mugs of hot chocolate, and a sense of humor. If you don't have a sense of humor, ask your friends who do have senses of humor to help you. We don't want the little children having holiday nightmares about one of Santa's troubled and savage attack reindeer. (Post a link to photos of your worn bike part reindeer.)
*Suggestion: While sorting through your old bike parts to make your worn bike part reindeer, you can box up and donate the dated and working bikes parts that you know you are never going to use again to Trips for Kids (TfK). You will help to give a kid the gift of riding a bike.
Photos and Worn Bike Part Reindeer by Wheelgirl.
Parts include black zip ties, rusty bent toe clip, ripped and rusty toe strap, those horrible canti brakes with broken springs that bike mechanics love to hate, seat with bent rail, worn rim, worn and/or broken chain rings, bar tape wrap excess from garbage, black tape excess from aforementioned bar wrap, broken seat clamp for reindeer tail, old exercise bike that was scavenged from a pile of refuse three blocks away and abandoned by the scavenger in front of my home for no known reason. Oh, lucky me!)
