This poor bike... where is its owner???

A very nice bike has been tied to this bench for 6 weeks now (eastern parkway & Bedford Ave.). It´s in good condition but nobody seems to use it anymore...hummm...mysterious abandoned bike...

As a cyclist and a handyman/tinkerer, it breaks my heart to see something like this... soon, one or two pieces will go missing... and then a few more... eventually, it'll be a bare, rusting frame... but if you were to rescue it, the owner would undoubtedly resurface and you'd be accused of theft.

On my block, a similar thing has happened - right now, it's a frame/fork and wheels, not much else. A strange thing happened a couple weeks ago, though - someone filled up the tires. Odd.

I watched a great classic old bike with nice paint get slowly taken apart and rusted away over the course of like 8 months last year.

Sad.

Someone locked their bike to the side of my house once. I thought maybe someone got drunk at Dean St. and decided to leave it there. After 1 week and a half (and consulting the police) we clipped the lock and gave the bike away.

There is/was a bike chained to a railing outside the pharmacy/Mayday Hardware on Washington near the corner of Sterling. If anything is left it is only the frame. Over the winter the carcass was picked over by the vultures, I am assuming that sooner or later someone will take the frame for its scrap metal value.

I believe this bike belongs to someone who works at the gas station. I've seen a gentleman ride it around a few times last fall.

That would be strange that he couldn't put the bike somewhere at the gas station, rather than across the street.
