Houston & Essex

Tire slashing? I should check back next week to see if that seat is still attached, bet it'll be as good as gone.

2nd St btw 1st & 2nd Aves

At night in the East Village. Chained the tires together but the rest of this baby is gone. Who's the nutcase walking around stealing bike seats? Is the second hand market for bicycle seats really that lucrative? It must be at the rate they disappear in this town.

Ave A btw 12th & 13th St.

i can't tell where one ends and the other begins. i wonder how long these bikes sit here before they get stripped down. and is the market for hot bicycle tires/pedals/seats/handlebars/whatever really that lucrative?

12th St. btw Ave A & B

at first i thought this was part of someone's trash but upon closer inspection it looks like it had been on the street rusting for a few weeks. either way, it was mine for the shooting.

11th St. btw Ave A & B

if you don't chain it down, it's gone.

10th St. btw 1st & 2nd Aves

a beautiful bike with white walls and fenders fell victim to the curb crush


stripped and cleaned on the same street.
