In the midst of deliveries on Wednesday morning, I happened upon this guy near 2nd & Market in Old City:
There are various telltale signs that this bike has been here awhile, most notably the rust and the copious amounts of bird droppings on its front tire. Beyond that, the frame is in pretty good shape and it seems like most of the hardware would still be salvageable. The front tire is also potato-chipped, but it's tough to see here.
A side note, this appears near one of my favorite street signs in Philly, a favorite because it's nowhere near the street:
Simple pleasures. I need to come back to this neighborhood for First Friday again some time. It's been too long...
Rustcycles is a series of abandoned bikes and locks I've stumbled upon throughout Philadelphia.
