End of the Night


The night ended at the F train 2nd avenue stop but, not before I saw this rusted out piece of crap and headed back to Brooklyn. Again, two locks a seat lock on a piece of crap. Hope you enjoyed my walk

Really Bent


The rear is pretty bent, chain all rusted out, at least three locks, found on Avenue C and Houston, nice zombie

On the rack, bent front wheel


While not a complete zombie, this bike will never ride again- pretty bent front wheel found on Avenue A and E.4 street

Yellow Zombie


Avenue A and E 6 Street- a beautiful yellow zombie, no name nice contrast against the snow

Beautiful Winter Zombie


Found this one on Avenue A and St. Marks- so beautiful in the snow like an angel. A Schwinn- probably once a beautiful racing heritage, now like this

Huffy in a cage- How did this get here?


Not only did someone put energy into placing this here, its even locked up. Huffy- such crap belongs in a cage found on First Avenue and 9th street.

E. 17 and Broadway


Continue to walk downtown and saw this Raleigh. Another piece of crap laid to waste on the street, let it rot. Sad.

Awesome walk in the city!


Went out to dinner on Wednesday, December 24. Took a long walk from 32nd street to alphabet city. What a great set of zombie bikes.
Start with the Magna- chained up on Broadway between 28 & 29 street

Another piece of Junk


While there are no shortages of these bikes, I seem to be running into real crap. Here is a Magna, totally stripped although the crank and pedals are still on it. These types of bikes seem to be part of a disposable bike idea. Even if it were new, it would still be crap, now a zombie, its even crappier. This bike was found in Brooklyn on 13 Ave and 44 st.

Photo Reminder

If you really want to see the bikes, please remember to enlarge the photos and click on them to view the real details.

Lock worth more than bike


It amazes me. This bike a "Murray". Most bikes I see are real junk and this one is no exception but, the lock is an ABUS, a super motorcycle lock and real expensive, more than the bike is worth for sure. I love the pink fork and handle bars. Also notice the rad '80's paint scheme. Its the lock that will protect the bike, Im sure even if there was no lock, nobody would waste their time to steal it. Found on Ocean Parkway and Beverly road in Brooklyn

Zombie Graveyard


Although the bikes are crappy (most that become zombies are) they have started to congregate on lightposts. So ugly, so many. This collection was foind on 16 Ave. and New Utrecht Ave. in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.

3 Speed? No Speed!


Saw this bike on Atlantic Ave. and Smith St. on Brooklyn. The frame says 3 speed, no brand. Pretty stripped down, only 1 tire, nice neck lock and no rust. Not too bad, can be salvaged.

City ZOMBIE




I'm a Brooklyn rider but, the routes Ive taken lately have not had many Zombies. Enter: The City. There are so many Zombies here! All over the place as well as beautiful bikes- mostly fixies. Here are two nice Zombies from Alphabet City.

Tasty Zombie!


I cant believe how fast time went by without a post. I thought Id see tons of zombies on my bike rides, guess I was going too fast to see any. Anyway, here are two zombies together, in love- how nice. The reason why they are tasty? These bikes were found on Church Ave. and Coney Island Ave. across from NYC ICY- very tasty.

COMPLETE WASTE


Saw this bike- a freakin CANNONDALE- Caad3! What a total waste! this bike desperately needs to be resurrected! All parts are gone. I dont know if you can tell but, all the spokes are busted out of the rear tire. The lock is a super kryptonite. The owner once cared for this beast and left it for dead. A zombie yes but this one needs to be ridden! Found in the Village on Perry and Washington.

Fancy Zombie


Found this one on Livingstone Street (90) in Brooklyn. A Nishiki Frame converted into a fixie. Super lock, all the parts are there; there are no parts on a fixie. Seat looks like a lot of fun-
Enjoy the ride on this one.
Dont Sit Down.
Also NO brakes
Have fun stopping

Beautiful Zombie


Freezing day- bright sunlight and a zombie warming itself. Found on 10th St. and 4th Ave. The sun was so bright, it blocks out the great zombie details. Torn cables, rusted out, what a shadow.

Cold Zombie


Found on Fort Hamilton Parkway and 43rd. Seat all torn up, rusted chain, nice big lock. What a Zombie.
