A pair of fancy Ritchey mountain bike pedals, or some such. We have no immediate use for them, yours if you want them.
Update: Turns out a friend has need of exactly these, excellent. It is always tricky to get rid of clippy pedals.
A pile of assorted cast iron cookware, all modern, mostly Lodge. It is all in reasonable shape and all available to readers, i.e. you.
A Schwinn Crisscross hybrid in really beat-up shape. This will be a nice station bike for somebody of our acquaintance. The really cool rust spots and general beat-up-ness should deter thieves somewhat. We hope.
A Gary Fisher Hookooekoo mountain bike or some such. Hole in the rear tube, otherwise perfectly good condition. New tube and some air and it is good to go.
This mountain bike is some weird kind of marketing mishmash, a Cannondale Sobe. It was missing the rear wheel when we picked it up but we had one from stock that fit just fine. This will be used by a member of the family after the application of new Schwalbe tyres. Nice.
A couple of Mac chargers, one Magsafe laptop charger and one firewire charger. They shall be tested and stored or deployed as required.
Two interesting coated cast iron implements. First up a Wolfgang Puck dutch oven thingy. It has a couple of dings in the enamel and the screw holding on the knob was loose, but is fine otherwise.
Also a Cuisinart enamelled skillet trying hard to look like the Le Creuset version.
Both are available to any hungry readers.
A Maclaren Twin Triumph, double pushchair, pretty new. The fabric needed a clean but it is in excellent condition otherwise.
We approve of these newer Maclarens because the fabric seat liners come off with snaps and pegs and such. It is a pain to get them off but once you take it off you can do a bang up job of really cleaning it. Previous models had the fabric more permanently attached.
Another Lascall Buggy Board with attachment points. Somebody will want this to facilitate moving around their lazy offspring.
Yet another Graco Snap and Go stroller frame thingy. Ready for action.
A brand set of Planet Bike fenders for a bike. Not sure if we need these so they are probably available to any reader who fancies them.
A nice Baby Jogger Q series, a well engineered stroller that folds beautifully. We have had one like this before, who knows, maybe the same one. No apparent reason for discard, some fading on the fabric, needed a puff of air in the tyres.
This Craftsman table saw has an alu top deck, making it far lighter than many of the others we find (and usually do not pick up). Already rehomed with a friend who is building up his workshop of tools.
A Ryobi electric string trimmer. No idea if it works but it now has a home with a friend who happens to be an electrical tinkerer so the prospects are good.
Update: Yes, it works fine, cuts well, nice and strong.
A Bumbleride double stroller, almost jogger-ish. Broken brake plastic pieces and a small tear in one fabric liner. The gentleman discarding it claimed it did not fold any more and had brought it for disposal on top of his car. Whereupon we promptly folded it and put it in ours. Given the high resale value of this device we will probably stitch up the tear and replace the brake.
You understand of course that we do not fix it to maximize resale value. We fix to maximize probability of reuse. We would happily sell it cheaper as is but the stress of dealing with the class of idiots that respond in that case is best avoided.
Also a random Baby Jogger single jogging stroller. Nothing wrong with it, needed a clean and is now ready to go.
A Graco Duo Glider in good condition. We have not seen one of these for a while, who knows if there is still a market for them but at the right price somebody should want it.
This Chrystalyte electric bike wheel is intriguing. Missing the controller and such so no idea what to do with beyond sell it cheap somewhere. We have no real use for it.
Available to any tinkerers ready this. Else it goes up on the list of craig.
This is a home brewer's bottle capper. More or less unused, simple, will probably work. Will be given to a friend who might have need of such.
Some items to play with in various ways. First up a silly plastic dartboard, safety first!
Next some devices for sliding around on the solid phase of water. The little one handle butt pad things were new in the packing and are small enough to leave in the car in winter for the off chance of serendipitous sledding.
