Alive or Zombie?

This bike on Berry and North 9 looks fine. Looks can deceive. Upon closer inspection

1) No pedals

2) No seat

3) No handlebars

At least it has TWO locks so nobody can steal it... Although with the chain dangling like that, you probably wouldn't get far.

Verdict: ZOMBIE

Resting Rhino

This Rhino was found on Ocean Parkway and Kings Highway.

Obviously the beast could not keep up with the herd and had to rest under the tree.

With grass growing over its frame, stripped of all of its parts one has to wonder how long it will suffer

Zombie Bikes of NYC

Welcome to my first blog.

I love bikes. I love to ride. I also appreciate the beauty of bikes and the skill of the design of most bikes.

The memories of bikes is always positive for me and for most evokes a smile.

Bikes are both for utility and pleasure. People spend their hard earned money to buy these bikes.

Along the way, something happens to some bikes which turns them into ZOMBIE BIKES., the have had the life sucked out of them.

They are no longer useful. Not quite dead but not among the living.

What happened to these bikes? Why were they deserted and forced into this state? Can they be saved?

Some ideas on how they became ZOMBIE BIKES later.

I plan to post ZOMBIE BIKE photos from around Brooklyn and Manhattan.

I hope you enjoy.
