Most Christmas trees are already green, but this environmentally friendly holiday display in Sydney takes the concept to a new level: It's made of bicycles that were destined for the recycling yard.
The bicycle tree, dubbed the Tree-Cycle, is made of 100 old bikes donated by a local recycling company. The bike frames were spray-painted tree green, while the tires were given a multi-colored makeover to make them look like holiday lights.
And if you thought you spent a lot of time putting up your tree, consider this: It took eight weeks to build the 23-foot-tall Tree-Cycle, which is on display at The Rocks, one of the city's prime tourist and shopping districts.
Even the star at the top of the tree is made of bicycle parts -- look closely, and you'll see it's really just a series of front forks and tires sticking out in each direction.
