A random Stanley knife lying by the side of the road. Comes with a good blade and a spare stored inside. All very nice.
A random 700C rear wheel, it seems to be straight but the bearing is a touch loose. We will fix that and clean it up for spares.
A random enamelled dog bowl that we grabbed for friend who has both a dog and mild obsession with enamelware.
A Bosch oscillating multitool thingy. Just sitting there in the scrap metal looking all lonely. The blade is missing a few teeth but it works fine.
A couple of random 700C x 45 or so tires. They are part worn but in good shape.
A random Bontrager 700C rear wheel. Numerous others present, and probably usable but having arcane disk mounts and such makes them less useful. This one is perfectly straight and functional, may be replacement takeoff.
This Trek kids mountain-ish bike clearly has the reason for discard of super bent front wheel. So bent in fact that the tire fell off. No matter, we have 24 inch front wheels in stock.
Update: Front wheel from spares installed, bike now has a new home and presumably happy rider.
It is nice to take a walk in the evening to survey the discards in various places. One such place is a bike shop where they often have take-off tires, or maybe even a wheel that we can salvage and reuse.
Tonight they had this Huffy Beach Cruiser. Technically it is a bike shaped object, but as are all modern beach cruisers. If we rehome this to somebody who rides a around for a while this summer, we will consider that a victory against the two forces of mindless consumerism and chaos.
Two Cadillac bikes. They have been ridden a fair bit and then neglected, but we can put them back on the road. One of them has the NYC lock on the handlebars there so some angle grinder action will be warranted.
Never fear, they are only temporarily upside down.
A random stainless steel milk jug. No apparent reason for discard, we don't have a use for it so is available.
