<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">The thread on housing storage reminded me of a shop I visited in Montreal called SOS Velo.  Not so much in terms of parts storage but in creative ways of using bike parts.<br>

<br>
When re-Cycles was entering its partnership with Cycle Salvation the visit was made so that both orgs. could see a large-scale bicycle recycling centre in operation.  This shop is a fully-funded place that not only recycles bikes but also provides &quot;a unique program that ensures the social and professional integration of people who have trouble finding and keeping jobs&quot;.<br>

<br>
This places recycles everything!  If it can no longer be used on a bike it gets turned into bike art, and some of it is very cool indeed.  I have a page of photos:<br>
