Next Green Thing: Bike Recycling

By Virginia Prescott on Monday, October 6, 2008.

A federal highway administrator once called biking and walking the "forgotten modes of transportation." But rising gas prices have provided more reasons for commuters to get out of their cars and start using their feet to get around.

One bicycle enthusiast in New Hampshire is turning his hobby into a small business he calls "Re-Cycles Bicycles Unlimited" - and he’s bringing others along for the ride.

Word of Mouth correspondent Sheryl Rich-Kern visited Paul Keegan in his Nashua workshop, and she brings us this story for our "next green thing" series.

I was listening to your feature on Paul Keegan in my car so I was unable to write down the name of his "day job". I do remember he apparently stocks all natural dog food; this information would be very valuable to my daughter. I would appreciate obtaining the name of his business & its location.
