I am all a-quiver and a-twitter.

Some of the details of this story might be incorrect. I'll correct them as I learn more.

The bike co-op where I volunteer, in a midwestern college town, has been offered a cache of used bikes. The offerer's father used to rent them to the college students. But, it seemed, he stopped doing that "a few decades ago." The bikes have been hanging in the basement, and in a shed, and under a tarp in the back yard, ever since. According to a second-hand account from my colleague at the co-op, he witnessed "about 100" 70s Raleighs and Schwinns in the basement!

This is an important haul for the bike co-op, which might use it as the basis of a lending library of bikes or some other initiative.

Probably not going to be any Paramounts. However, you can bet I'll be trading some fair donations of cash or kind for the tastiest morsels I can get my hands on. Bwa-ha-ha!

Can't wait to see 'em!

I'll try to get pics and post when I have more info!
