Recycled Spoke Key Ring
Donald, Bike Works Recycling and Reuse Coordinator, came to us from BICAS in Tucson, AZ. I recently noticed Donald's cool key ring, pictured above, made from an old bike spoke. "Yeah," Donald explained to me, "At BICAS we scrounged everything."
Using the picture I took of Donald's key ring as a guide, I made myself a couple of key rings this morning. A few twists with the pliers and a snip with the cutters and I had a pair of key rings ready to clip onto a belt loop or backpack and serve all my key-holding needs.

I'll have to give this a shot. I have some extra spokes left over from a set of wheels I recently had built...they're butted too so it will be extra light :-) or something.
This is one of the nicest "scrounge" designs I've seen in awhile. When My carabiner keytag fails I'll replace it with something like this. Great idea!
I can't imagine..............
Fabulous job........ next time I will also try.
