Jason found this page which shows pictures of abandoned bikes in NYC. I've always wondered about bikes like that. When I was at school, there always seemed to be a lot of them on campus. I wonder just how it happens that a bike becomes abandoned. Does one forget it? Walk all the way back to the dorm, and realize that they had thier bike this morning when they left, but for some reason don't have it now? Does one get distracted by something and forget that there is a bike they own? I don't get it. I can almost understand forgeting a crappy bike, but sometimes there would be a $700 Mongoose that was "forgotten."

This pic is my favorite. Like the author of the page states, it almost looks like it has wheels.
