A bicycle is a human-powered vehicle with metal frame, gears, pedals, handles, and wheels.
Consider reuse and donation to local community members. Keep your bike working with DIY Information from The Culture of Repair & The Crucible's Bike Repair Manual & Bike Maintenance Manual, or Bikeride's repair video tutorials by bike part.
