I hate to see so many bikes (and other things) dumped into the landfill before their time.

If you want to see the ultimate in dumpster diving, check out my friend's TEDx talk. She rescues medical equipment for a clinic in Africa.

Whole talk is worth watching; equipment repurposing starts a little after the 10:00 mark.
