    Just spotted this intersting looking child's cruiser-type bike dumped by a bin at junction of Argyle Place and Roseneath Street. Looks at first glance in good nick, just needs some TLC, minor spanner-works and a saddle?

    what is the protocol for abandoned bikes?
    I see a bike locked up near the innocent
    been there for months (used to have a rain cover)
    now I see it is missing the cover and wheels!
    so whats the deal? leave a note to see if anyone still owns it?
    seems a waste to leave it to die on a lamp post

    protocol is someone still owns them
    policee will only take action if it is causing an abstruction and there have been numerous complaints
    I spoke to the bike station about the vast number of pigeon guano encrusted bikes that have been locked in our communal garage for over 10 years - they said they will leave a note for a month then collect the bike with a big saw. which reminds me...

    I like the way spds make a bike "decent"
    I would contact Bike Station first - don't put a note on it yourself - I presume they have a note that is written in Legalese

    Aw that's a really nice wee bike. I would have grabbed it for the kids.
