That's not dead.  It's resting.

I admit, it looks like it might still be used.  But the sea air has ensured it is pretty terminal.

The basket is dual-purpose; turn it upside down and use it as a saddle replacement.

I knew this one was in trouble when I came back two weeks later and noticed that the front wheel was *still* parcel-taped to the stand.

I can't decide whether to post this here or in the unusual bikes thread.

I think it's the result of an error at the MoD purchasing centre just across the road.

Getting there.. Spotted this in the bike sheds last week:



Dunno whether they'd had an off that morning, but I wouldn't be surprised if it'd been like that for yonks.

It's like the old joke about doubling the value of a Lada by filling it with petrol.
"How do you double the value of a BSO?"
"Put a saddle on it."

If the saddle is a Brooks, you've probably tripled it,

What most of these are crying out for, is one of these:

If an object is obviously abandoned, is it still stealing to forcibly take it away?

It's more alive in its death than many BSOs are in their life.

Dead, but I don't think it was a BSO.

Question is she holding the saddle that used to be on the bike she is riding or is it a spare?

Odd that the tyres are removed and the bike locked up.
