Don't worry about me, I'll be here in the spring

This photo is from Uptown on 27th Street. Looks pretty obvious this guy's been chained up since before our first snow in December. I wonder about the back story on this bike. Who left it? Are they coming back for it? Why hasn't anyone stolen it yet!!?? I'd like to think the bike will get some use again once the roads are clear...


There are actually 2 more bikes chained to a pole about 20 feet away that have also been there since at least before Old Man Winter unleashed his fury. What's up with leaving your bikes out that long on busy streets? Did these people die?

I'd like to see you salvage all these bikes and have one big bike / yard sale in the Spring. How cool would that be?

You could definitely start a collection. There's one on Lyndale in the 70s down in Richfield I see all the time. I could take pieces from each bike and make some sort of hybridized creature of a bicycle.
