a young coworker had this in his apartment complex. People move and leave their bikes behind. The management decided to get rid of the unclaimed bikes and he got a beautiful like new 20-25 year old road bike for $50. the stubbies were still on the tires. At my husband's office building, the bikes left behind were garbage.

When I go in the bike storage unit behind my condo, I think about the women on TE who would drool over some of the bikes.
It's sad because I'm sure someone out there would use them and take care of them.

I'm amazed at all the abandoned bikes that get auctioned off at the UW garage sale every year. Most of them are junkers, but some of them are actually decent bikes. I've know a couple of people who were lucky enough to get a good deal on one.
