Things start slowly during free Dump Week in Thunder Bay. I have to compete with lots of people for bikes but I have a bit of an edge. I have permission to pick bikes up at the Dump thanks in part to my involvement with Bicycles for Humanity.

Tuesday saw an Italian Juventus, a French Peugeot UO8 with bent forks find their way into The Old Shed.

Wednesday produced a very clean Raleigh Record Mixte, 2 Sekines and an eighties something CCM that is not all that bad looking. I also got a lead on a Miele that day with a Shimano 105 grouppo but the fellow wanted too much for the bicycle since it was a bit scruffy.

Today, Thursday saw an increase in bicycle flow as is normally the case. Word of mouth gets around town and the cars line up to get into and out of the Dump. Today's haul saw 42 bikes go to the Bicycles for Humanity cause and two, a nice clean Miyata and a not quite so nice Norco Avanti find shelter at my place.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday are traditionally high volume free Dump Days each Spring. Though I really like collecting bikes for B4H, it is always nice to find one decent old road bike (or two) as a reward for spending the whole week out at the Dump.

Sorry about no pictures just now. I am trying to catch up with my own work
