You're gonna feel really good about yourself when your grandparents get hit by a car, just cause you had to steal 10 cents worth of plastic from your elderly grandparents.

Damn, nice swag. I bet the bikes also have great pie plates you could swipe as well.

Throw those away, they make your bike looking ugly and serve no particular use, on a mtb they just become trail litter as soon as you hit some faster bumps.

Unless you often ride at night, then cover your bike with reflective shit.

If you are gonna ride at night, get a reflective jacket and a proper rear light.

If you don't ride at night, those things are useless. If you do, they are kinda nice to have, but are not nearly enough. It is not safe or courteous without real lights front and back, preferably dyno powered, and non of that flashing bullshit.

Fine.

Restore it the best you can, and ride it, if you need a bike. Otherwise, chuck it.

If you can verify that it has been abandoned, then sure go for it, take the whole bike.

>the most awesome thing that youve found on the trash/street/dump?
A couple years ago I was riding home and saw this bike leaning up against a garbage can outside a house. Rang the doorbell, asked if I could take it, cleaned it up and got $60 for it (that's all it was worth, it may look pretty but this bike weighed at least 40 pounds and the brakes and derailers might as well have been made of tin foil).

Have you been on a ghost bike ride? Not sure if your state does them differently but here we paint ALL of it white.

desu buddy, the only thing that looks salvageable from that thing is the frameset and even that is fucked if the seatpost is seized. You're going to end up dropped hundreds to get it looking nice.

Scavenged a BSO that dad got from his work for being with them for 25 years. The only things worth taking were the rims, cables, and seat. everything else was trash on it.

Looks like you have a Stingray. (Or something modeled after it.)
I highly recommend, so much fun.

A trash girl's Stingray, which we spray painted green over the pink, was my first serious bike and I rode that shit all over the fucking place.

Gonna suck to ride as an adult; small frame, tiny wheels, and one shitty gear, but you can still fuck around with it.
