Getting Organized

Written by Boston Biker on Nov 11

I saw this lovely set up on Reddit. Made from an old box spring frame.

It reminded me of my much less awesome helmet and lock organizer (its also where I keep head badges and metal working stuff I have just finished).

Simple copper wire, bent and placed through a black box (it was part of a fruit basket). It keeps me from throwing my helmet and lock on my bed every day when I get home, and I always know where they are when I need them.

Have you build anything to organize your bike stuff? Share pictures in the comments.

I am kind of proud of this guy, took a lot of work to cut out all those little letters (each one is about 4 mm tall), and really liked how it came out. Nickel is an annoying material to work with as its slightly toxic so you can’t breath it, or touch it too much. But other than that it takes a nice shine, I am going to probably clean up around the letters a bit more, other than that its done. If you want your own badge head over to my etsy store.
