Prospect Park Zombie

This one is at a heavy traffic corner so I dont know how it could have happened. Chained up by the park, seeing all those other bikes go by, this on is definately neglected to the point of being zombie.

Another Brooklyn Zombie

This one was overly upsetting. I had seen this bike numerous times before in different locations around my block. UNfortunately, the Zombies got it and left it like this, to rot along the highway, where it can only look on as the traffic moves by and it cannot.

It was recognizable by the really strange pedals- very flat and solid white. Now, no chain, seat or cables.

Zombies in Kensington!

It took a while but I found that the Zombies are in Kensington as well! Hide your healthy bikes as once a zombie gets a hold of your bike, its tires go flat, loses tension in the chain and goes nowhere. This one was found dead on McDonald Ave and Church by the bank. Its in real poor shape. The tires are gone and notice the rear derailleur splayed out like a small intestine. Its guts are all over the floor. Poor bike. It once was a way to work or even hit the trails, reduced to this. Weep.

Park Slope Zombies

Found these in the slope last week. I am surprised that bikes are abandoned like this. It seems so senseless (chime Mrs. Lovejoy "Wont someone think of the children). It would make sense to donate them to be rehabilitated but the work involved in some of them is so intense.

The pink one was on Union Street and 5th Avenue. No rear wheel, no cables, poor shape. The blue one was on President and 5th Avenue. I dont think it was even locked up to the post. Not much you can do with tires but no hub. It also might be tough to ride with no handlebars, the seat is optional though, as is the chain.
