From the New York Times Lens Blog comes this ingenious repurposing of the humble bicycle wheel. Here in Mexico City it’s deployed to teach young women the esteemed art of the matadora. We can’t think of a better use. But matador/a opportunities are few and far between here in the States. So what will you do with that old unicycle hidden in your closet? Or that spare fork-and-wheel stowed away in the garage? Imagine the possibilities!
