Re-cycle

Acrylic, 30×40 on gallery wrap – $1,320

When I was working in Ottawa’s centre town, I would sometimes walk by this place during lunch hour. A beautiful jumble of bikes of all kinds with a couple of workers busy repairing or restoring bikes of all vintages from classics to everyday models. 

The Bike Dump Store ( https://bikedump.store/ ) has been operating for over 30 years and Dave’s story is inspiring. Check out the history page on their site. 

Took many photos and thought long about the daunting level of detail. Of course, I did take some license with colours, but only for picture design.
