If 10,000 Denver Biters repair their bikes instead of trashing them, we'll keep the weight of 1,000 analysts' couches in bikes outta landfills.

BUI? In February, a TN woman was arrested for biking under the influence - on a stationary bike at her gym.

The Bite

Squeaky bike brakes driving you insane? Check yourself into this clinic: Cycle Analyst, where bike docs will diagnose the problem and restore your two-wheeler to health. CA's gear geeks'll do just about any job - from tire swaps to rebuilding, ground up, with new parts. It'll sell you a used or new bike, but CA's mission is to restore old ones. It resells stripped parts for cheap; recycles the rubber, aluminum, and steel from repairs; and recaptures cleaning agents for safe disposal so they don't end up in groundwater. Call 'em crazy, but CA keeps as many as 100 complete bikes outta landfills each year - all while keeping local peeps off the couch.
