Listen smart ass, we’re just trying to find parts for our bicycle. It’s a 1950’s Columbia girls bicycle, tires, tubes, liners, grips, decent seat, hope Columbo can find this happy home.

*In a British nature documentary narrator voice*

“Here, at the Bicycle Graveyard, we see the final chapter of life for these mighty wheeled creatures. With almost painful grace and beauty, they lie down on their sides, and within a few years of exposure to the elements, all that will be left is a rust-covered frame.

The gravity of it is deep and profound, especially seeing the newly-deceased specimen in front, the one with the metallic green hide. Beautiful and wild in life, haunting and alluring in death.”

The whole “must take all of them” is the kicker. There might be a useful or at least sculptural bit in there somewhere, and I might even dig through them all to find it. But take responsibility for disposing of the rest?

Color me paranoid, but I think my meth lab is attracting too much attention. Come take these bikes I stole as a kid, I don’t want to get busted for them.

Call day or night, I’m always up.

There might be something wrong with me, but I desperately want those bicycles. They are the most beautiful bicycles I have ever seen.

On the other hand, there’s a bunch of equally deceased ones in the river, just a few blocks from here. I should be able to fund an expedition and fish some of them out. Though they will never be like these.

Like the Elephants, bicycles disappear off to their sacred burial grounds to await for the great spirit to take them. Must be a local Indian tribe trying to dispose of them so as to build gaming casino. Hopefully Schwin will come to their aid before this desecration happens.
