Documentary - BICAS

For the Photo Documentary, I decided to document BICAS (Bike Inter-Community Art and Salvage). Tucson has one of the largest biking communities in the country, and places like BICAS are important. It offers the community a place where anyone can go fix their bike. Unlike a regular bike shop, BICAS also offers classes on how to maintain bikes or even build one from scratch! This is possible because they accept donations of unwanted bikes, examine them, take the good parts, and organize them throughout the shop by piece. With the bad parts comes the art side of BICAS. With these pieces they make interesting figurines, like their famous saguaro made out of bicycle rims. Though small, BICAS is a big place open to the community for their biking needs.
