Made this handle for my Starbucks mug several years ago.

Do a Google image search on "recycled bicycle art" and there's tons of neat stuff.

On a much grander scale Ai Weiwei did this: Forever Bicycles (http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2013/10/forever-bicycles-ai-weiwei-toronto/) (except that they weren't really old bikes)
