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.
