My apartment building has a notice that everybody has to lay claim to their bikes in bike storage, otherwise, untagged bikes will end up donated to charity. Well and good -- I mean, that bike storage room looks like Pennywise's Playroom, anyway, and some of those bikes look like they've been there a LONG time. So, it's logical for them to clean house.
I should get my bike tagged before the deadline. In all likelihood, I will. However, at the same time, I'm sorely tempted to let somebody else get that fucking bike. I've had more repairs on that damned bike than any bike I've ever owned. It's a Trek, and I got it for $700 a few years ago -- I actually have lost track of the number of flat tires and broken spokes I've had on it. I think that back tire in particular is shoddy, and will eventually need to be replaced. One week, I got the flat tire fixed, then within that same week, hit something and the tire went flat again!! I said a few choice words then, lemme tellya.
Odds are I'll make the deadline (end of this month) and get my bike registered, will spare it from afflicting some other poor soul, but I am very tempted to just let them have it.
