Silver, My Favorite Scavenger!

What a neat thing to do! I bet the neighbor will be thrilled to have this bike.

Was Silver riding while holding the newspaper over her head or is that the mail?

Nope...that would have been prissy!

That was mighty nice of you, Silver! What a lucky friend!

Bold move trying to ride it home! I almost scored a bike but I waited too long, just holding out hope its rightful owner grabbed it (hah). I think my old roommate's score was the best though. It had been dumping rain for days as it often does during Boulder springs. He came home from walking the dog with a Schwinn he had found in the creek! I imagine it was stolen and dumped for quite a while from the looks of it, and the creek flooding in the storm washed it down.

So it became another learning bike for me. I picked up a few parts for it, namely was missing a grip shifter, rebuilt the bottom bracket, rode it a few times because my girl wasn't done at the time I don't think. Then we gave it to a friend of his and she decided not to lock it up once outside a grocery store in Denver (and we gave her lock) so that was the end of that. I was really mad because we worked hard and put good money into it. "I couldn't find a place," is a really, really weak excuse. I kind of liked that little bike, it was fun for being a department store bike.

Silver, good going on rescuing that bike. It's great to hear that it will being going to a new home where it will be appreciated and ridden.

I was riding the bike, but remembered that we had not gotten the Saturday mail, so stopped to pick it up at the end of the drive way. But couldn't figure how to ride and hold the mail.

That's funny- you can ride in races with the bestest and the fastest....but you can't figure out how to pick up the mail while riding a Schwinn!

Just teasing you....always good to see a recycled bike given to someone who can't afford one.
I bet it needs a new chain!

Cool!

We picked up a vacuum cleaner from next-to-the-dumpster, and while it was in the back of the pick up, waiting for a trip to the charitable place we donate stuff, we passed a garage sale, and swapped the vac. for a bike that ended up with our daughter's weasely boyfriend.

What a waste!
