What do you do with an old bike that you can’t get rid of in a yard sale?
Jill Klingler of 310 W. North Ave. turned a vintage bicycle into a showstopper flower garden. After trying to sell her bike for $10 and couldn’t, she decided to decorate it for her front yard, filling it with colorful annuals.
Soon, the wide-tired bike will be turned into a fall display with ornamental kale and other plants. She will add a few decorations, like scarecrows, to round out the autumn theme.
