Bicycle Wheels Used To Make Handy Clothesline
Wheels from a bicycle her children used to ride now make Genelle Brown’s laundry days easier. Mounted on the side of the house and on a pole 40 ft. away, she advances the line by spinning the wheel on the house.
    It’s also the source for curious conversation as stuffed clothing on the bike makes it look like a child is riding up the pole.
    “E.T. has nothing on this clothesline,” laughs Bill Brown. He improvised the bicycle clothesline about 10 years ago, when the couple moved into a new house.
    “We had a 20-in. bike setting around, so I took the tires off and used the rims to hold the clothesline,” he says.
He mounted them through the steering frame to brackets on the pole and house.
    With vinyl clothesline pulled taut and knotted, the line has worked well for 10 years.
