NYC Bike Graveyard

Good News Folks, I rescued my bike from a possible city auction or a fate even worse, destruction. It was quite a trip to the far North East point of Greenpoint, where only power facilities, trash dumps masquerading inside of buildings and abandoned warehouses live, but well worth it. I called literally 25 differend numbers in the city, but I succeeded in locating my 20 year old 10 speed and rode her on home.

Here are some pictures to give you an idea of where NYC bikes go to die:




This afterlife for city bikes is called Kingsland. File this in your brain in case the city ever steals your bike. You will need a lot number provided by your local police precinct just to gain entrance.

520 Kingsland Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11222
