Use as a 'runner' to cover the motorway bit of carpet through your room?

Stick em to your garage (if you have one) wall where your car doors would normally open, thus minimising the chance of damage.
Alternatively fashion some rather plush chain stay
protectors

Use them to help dispose of a body. Extra points if the body is the carpet fitter.

great idea!
if it's a wool carpet, how about a nice baselayer for winter riding?

cut into squares and use as garage kneeling pads, or for putting bike on when upside down, use a neat strip to protect high wear/dirt areas (front door etc) alternatively fit to a Black and Decker, apply to knees and then wink knowingly at friends when they ask what happened

Cut them up into small strips about the size of rizzla packets. Apply self adhesive backing. Fly to Vegas zand sell them at an Elvis convention as stick-on sideburns.

Wife uses carpet on the allotment to 'path' the bits between the beds. Keeps them a bit less muddy.

Keep them for when you go to uni and have to put your bikes in your room, but don't want to get charged at the end of the year for destroying the existing carpet.

keep it somewhere safe ... so you can patch in the bit you drop your wine / coffee / chain / lit candle on.

yep use it as a bike mat for the winter and cut a smaller piece of mat for your back door so the doggies can wipe their feet (no more muddy footprints (hahhahah)

+1 for this, even a really good quality carpet will show signes of wear quite quickly in the high impact areas, our smallish living room always has a "pathway" from the door to the hallway to the door leading to the kitchen area, so using these offcuts as a runner might be good, unless it is a room like a bedroom that isn't likely to develop an obvious wear strip.
Other than that cut it to shape for the car boot. I personally wouldn't put it in my shed as the local rodents would have a field day stripping it and making nests of the stuff.Posted 7 months ago # -
Sound insulate your shower pump?
Definitely keep some for patching.
