Bicycle powered water filtration

Thanks for posting this, Still. It looks like a wonderful idea and design.
Do they build these water filtration trikes from scratch, or do they use
recycled parts? Reason I ask is there is a nationwide organization called
"Recyclery," which started in the SF Bay Area. They accept donated bikes,
refurbish them, train kids to repair bikes, and use the money to benefit
inner city kids in various ways. They always have more bikes than they can
fix, so they send them by the truckload to third world countries. This
looks like another way junk can be used to benefit people in need.

Boston has a program like that too, Bikes not Bombs. http://www.bikesnotbombs.org/

Good to hear that other areas have this type of thing going on.

Oh, and the filtration bike - way cool.

They got it. I accidentally started a new thread saying so.
