In case you missed it, May is National Bike Month, and tomorrow kicks off Bike-to-Work Week. If you haven’t before, think about using your bike instead of your car at some point this week — it’s a great way to get your heart pumping in the morning, meet some new neighbors, and promote bike safety in your neighborhood.
Start off the week in the right gear with this original timepiece: a wall-mount Pendulum Bicycle Gear Clock made of salvaged bike parts.
A polished wheel rim forms the neck of the clock connecting the base and the clock face, both made of (de-greased) chain rings. Even the working pendulum is a small cog attached to the clock by a short extension of bike chain.
Standing 12″ tall, this curious timepiece can go anywhere with two AA batteries.
Everyone in your office will be intrigued, and you’ll feel great about picking up this clever recycled piece and supporting bike awareness. Available in varying styles at Amazon handmade goods for $78.95.
