An Ode to the Rusty Yellow Bike: Rust Removal Products Saved the Day!

I had a bike I bought last year. It is a yellow bike I have just used for going to the market. This yellow bike is now unused and is parked at the back of our house for almost a year already and I have just recently paid a visit so to check it out and finally use it. To my surprise (should not be a surprise actually) it s all old and rusty.

There was a wild squeaking as I tried pushing the pedestal with my feet. I'm thinking man; can I still use this thing? So what I did was check it one by one. The breaks are no good, the knobs and bolts have withered away because of the rust. The seat is broken and I am left with a useless bicycle.

That bicycle used to be very useful because I rode it around my community (I live in the largest subdivision in the whole world, I kid you not!) Whenever I would feel like smoking I will just run around with that bike and forget I ever craved for one. I go to the market using that sweet yellow thing and can carry 2 grocery bags full with it.

There was this one event though wherein the seat was shaking and moving upside down that seating on it can be a crotch killer. I managed to just stand up the whole biking way and have hurt my hamstrings badly in the process. It is a good exercise though.

But now this bike is sitting at the back along with the rusty metal thingies that we kept on our backyard. But it's not too late for this bike to come to life again, after all applying rusts removal products can take care of it and make it pretty again. This rotten yellow thing will be a darling once I get a chance to secure a metal rust remover. A visit to the bike repair shop can make it useful again.

They say there are a lot of rust removal products that come in spray cans that do not require you to lift a finger. In not so age old days, you are required to apply chemicals using your hands and we know well by now how harmful these old, acid-based chemicals can harm your health and your body.

So some people end up giving away rusty stuff to junk yards and in turn recycle it to new metals again. But the rust still has to go away; the use of industrial rust removal products takes care of that in the process. So imagine how these laborers in metal factories are. Their lungs exposed in chemicals and all.

As for me I'm going ahead and get a can of rust removal spray in the hard ware store and start working with this rust problem. This rusty yellow bike will be a pretty yellow transit once more. Once it's taken cared of, I will go biking again around this wonderful subdivision.
