Photographing Abandoned Bicycles for Posterity

Joe Schumacher describes his effort this way:

New York has a lot of abandoned bicycles. I don't know why.

Do people forget the combinations or keys to their locks?

Do they forget they had a bike?

Most of the bikes pictured here are pretty cheap bikes.

Some of the bikes appear to have been abandoned long ago.

Consider this ever-growing photo album a way to remember those forgotten bicycles.

Awww, the poor, defenseless, little darlings! ;-D

An absolutely fascinating collection of photos.
