Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Question: Found Bike (schwinn super le tour)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyeaDUGm47I

While doing an internship with the local police department we were called to a location regarding an abandoned bike. The bike was in pretty good condition, but it could have been abandoned due to theft or lack of function. I was able to spin the wheels and change gears though. How much would a bike like this be worth? I ask because it will go up for auction next summer with a starting price of $5. I included the link for a youtube video that shows the same bike we recovered. Thank you all.
