Perfect ZOMBIE

I couldn't have picked a better Zombie for the day. Its a brand I never heard of, missing all of its parts, chain totally rusted and laying spread out behind it, locked up pretty well though. Found on Ditmas Avenue between Ocean Parkway and E. 7th street. I have a feeling its going to be a nice Zombie winter.

Cleaning Out Old Memory

I took these photos a while ago. Some in Brooklyn, some in the city. They are no longer there, having been clipped and removed. Many of the bikes from the city were Specialized Hardrocks- I'm sure once used as a glorious mountain bike, no degraded to delivery and abandoned to the streets.

The Most F***ed Bike EVER!

I was shocked when I saw this bike. It is so F***ED! The rear wheel is smashed, one arm of the front suspension fork is bent and of course no cables or seat. The positive is that the lock is pretty weak so it will be gone soon. Nothing to salvage, miserable bike from Mongoose, a decent brand at higher price points. This one was all aluminum. It was so bad, I had to take two photos.

I found this miserable specimen on 54th street and 16th avenue.

Winter time= Zombie Time

As the weather turns cold, I believe that more Zombie bikes will appear. The bikes will become deserted, rusted carcasses that clog up light posts and become buried in the snow. Wheels become flat, cables rot, rubber will disintegrate, bikes become cold zombies. More opportunities for me. This specimen was found at 51st street and 17th Avenue in Brooklyn. The owner at one time cared enough to remove the wheels and lock them together. Now, it sits rotting behind newspaper boxes. No cables, poor shape. I know after the first snow, this one will be beyond zombie- to dead. I personally like the leaves turning under the bike. A sure sign of things to come.

School Zombie

Saw this one outside of a school on 19th street between 6 & 7 acenue. Lots of political stickers on it. I likes the one about being free on a bike. This bike hasnt been free for a while. The chain is rusted out real bad. Its got a good kyrpto lock so we'll see how long this one stays.

Crap- part II

I thought the last post was a real piece of junk. This one is even worse. It was on Bay 17th Street and Bath Ave. in Bensonhurst. I dont know why someone would even buy this bike new. it is complete crap. Luckily, the lock is also junk so I am sure it can be removed real easy and.. I dont know not even recycled. The frame should be discarded into the bowels of bike hell.

Real piece of Crap

This bike was found on Bay Ridge Parkway (75th) Street and 16th Avenue in Bensonhurst. It was right near a bus station and is a Kent. A brand Ive never really heard of and looks to be a real piece of crap. Completely "zombified" I wouldnt ride this even if it was in good condition. Now, no seat, no wheels, the parts arent even good.
