Incredible Sculptures Made From Bike Parts

I'm not sure I'd want any of the artists participating in this charity auction to attempt to fix my bike, lest I wind up with a Trek that looks like a giant quacking duck. But in terms of making weirdly wonderful sculptures for the home – please, take all my spare parts and go to town!

This year's pART Project – sponsored by SRAM, a Chicago-based bicycle-component company – has gathered 80 artists to undertake a quixotic task: assemble a vibrant artwork using a box of 100 parts like gears, chains and frame-related miscellany. The objets will be auctioned off on November 29 in New York City, with the proceeds going toward SRAM's World Bicycle Relief, an organization that has provided bikes and mechanical training to healthcare programs in Africa.
