Goth Bike - a custom bicycle paint job by ©Matt Foley

A used bike is a used bike. It's really as simple as that.
In a disposable society, how does one instill a sense of value into a younger person?
It may be humble, but you need to take care of what you have. A used bike? Sure.
Bicycles Recycle has discovered a little secret - what is better than new? Custom!
A used bike can metamorphose into a highly desirable, very special power object.
Lead into gold.
Alchemical stuff. Magic in life. The Art of Life.
In this case, for a couple of bucks. A can of black (first color), a can of white (overlay color), a buck a can.
Apatchie rides!
A paint job a poor kid can have on a bike for a few bucks that will look cooler than any store bought finish. Street creds. Status. Custom. Identity. Class.
Instead of drive-by shootings, imagine bike "wars" - who has the best tricked; night rider gangs with awesome LED systems lighting the dark with total coolishness; custom paint-job parties and art-bike exhibitions; park picnics with bike shows...
No one said we can't dream big. Here is a sample.
