    My new bike - tee hee hee

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I was just out workin' in the Back 40 and lookey what I found! A new bike!

    Poor thing was just dumped out there in the trees (I find it quite odd that someone would just dump a little bike...could it be a hint? I'm a newbie and all, but c'mon!). Too bad I don't have a 12" inseam...it's a little too small for me. Plus I'm really not that into pink, although the tassels are kinda cool. And there are little clip-on flowers on the front spokes which unfortunately you can't really see in the picture. Very fancy little bike.

    Funniest part is, I think it weighs more than my Trek!

    That bike would make some little girl very happy -- or make a great lawn ornament!

    Wow that bike looks to be in pretty decent condition. If you were in Texas I would scoop it up for my 4 year old niece!

    Cute bike. It would certainly make some little girl's day.

    If it didn't weigh so much, I'd ship it to you!

    I'm going to ask around at work tomorrow and if I can't find it a home, hopefully our local Hospice thrift store will take it. Aside from the broken training wheels, it does seem to be in good shape.

    found bike

    Could have been dumped or stolen. If you don't want it, advertise, donate to Salvation Army or Christmas bike programs (where bike people fix up bikes for poor kids), etc. It's very strange what people will abandon out in the country. Usually it's kittens.

    Possibly dumped or stolen. Maybe dumped because the tyre looks like it's come off the stabiliser? Maybe worth a phonecall to the local police to see if someone's reported it missing? Could be some little girl's missing her bike.
    There are a lot of unwanted, unloved bikes out there - go on give a bike a good home
