Free Bike Yo!

I have to admit it. I'm a bike and biking junky. As a kid I used to retrieve bikes from the garbage and abandoned bikes out of the woods and bring them home much to the chagrin of my parents. Just as recently as a few years ago I owned four different bikes and was working on picking up number five. Someone asked me why I needed so many kinds of bikes and the answer is always the same - each one is different, it has its own personality. Recently I have been excited to have rescued two bikes from the trash. One is a cool '80's Peugeot that someone just tossed out of the garage onto the curb and is in great condition, and the other one is a Giant aluminum frame mtb that was ridden to hell and back found by a dumpster in Georgetown, most likely an old student bike. So I have two project bikes to work on and will hopefully be fixed up soon and enjoyed by new owners instead of ending up in a landfill somewhere.
