Wow..what treasures.
maybe your experience, should be a big reminder to any local cycling organization that is non-profit and refurbishes bikes for kids/people in need/learn bike mechanic skills: have a notice placed in their local papers every spring, to remind folks where they can drop off their used bikes that they no longer need.
Honestly, alot of people don't know where to donate their used bikes and I think some genuinely would make some effort, if they knew where to go.

I was with a client today and saw 2 kids bikes by the curb. I almost put her threw the window when I hit the brakes but there were too many cars to safety stop
Maybe my loser guy magnet has been reprogramed to be a bike magnet!Dar

By charity, goodness, restraint, and self-control men and woman alike can store up a well-hidden treasure -- a treasure which cannot be given to others and which robbers cannot steal. A wise person should do good. That is the treasure that cannot be lost.

It's a nice find.
Unfortunately, most of the abandoned bikes around here had been stolen and ditched.

I think I'd better go by Sojourner so I don't get confused with Zen. LOL!
I hope your right and your loser guy magnet is now a bike magnet.
I'm not testing mine to find out - I've had enough of loser guys.
