Christmas tree made from recycled bicycles
Baku, November 29 (AZERTAC). As December rolls around, millions of households must make an annual decision--real Christmas tree? Fake Christmas tree? Wad of used bicycles fashioned into roughly the shape of a Christmas tree? Sydney Australia has opted for the latter with the "Tree-Cycle," a holiday monolith built from 100 recycled bikes.
The "Tree-Cycle" stands 23 feet tall and took eight weeks to build. The bike frames were spray painted green, and the tires a rainbow of other colors, standing in for ornaments. Bikes were used to fashion a yellow "star" atop the tree, as well.
The Tree-Cycle is part of a annual display of recycled material trees at Syndey`s The Rocks. Last year it was made of bottles. The year before it was chairs. The tree will be on display until December 28th.
