Maybe you were wondering...

Maybe you weren't, but I just wanted to explain why I decided to post that picture of the deteriorating bike several posts ago. Well, you see, over the past year and a half or so, I have been working at a medical clinic in Berkeley, CA. This old skeleton of a bike has been locked up to this sign post for the entire duration of my employment with one of those heavy duty bike locks. It was pretty much in the same state now as it was then. Which leads me to ask, "How long will it stay here?" and, "who exactly is responsible for getting rid of it?" I'm under the impression that this bike will stay here for as long as it takes for it to erode enough so that the bike is no longer attached to the post by the lock. But who knows...
