re-CYCLE

When I was thinking of buying a cycle cuz I like cycling and had lost my previous bike, I noticed Amits cycle which was lying in our back yard with a torn - water soaked - seat, flat distorted tyre, rusted chain, peeling paint and almost no gears ....
I started with filling up the tyre and putting back the chain.... dusted off the dirt and wow... the cycle still had some life in it... it had Shimano gears with a broken string.... so took it to my lab , get the rear gear fixed, painted it and stuck a fire ball sticker on it..... god knows how old....but sturdy as a new one with the Shimano gears living upto its reputation and the break pads though brittle, still werent so bad....

I had been seeing this rather badly broken, trashed NEW bike on the way home...so I took off the handle, the nice cuissioned seat from it and the break pads and put them on my bike... and POOF!!!... My very own no cost re-CYCLED Cycle...

There are always cycles that Money can buy...
But the feeling of giving a cycle a new life ..Priceless !! ;-)
