Third Ave btw 52nd & 53rd

Stripped and abandoned on Lex. What's great with this one is that not only was it gone the next day, but it reappeared the day after! Who took this bike away and then returned it to the same spot?
New York City has no shortage of broken bikes chained to street signs, bike racks, or any manner of semi-permanent structure. Each has its own flavor, its own character, and most definitely its own story. The stories we can only make up our own fantastic guesses. These are broken bikes that have crossed my path.
