5th Ave and 18th St

25th St btwn 5th Ave & Broadway

43rd St btwn 2nd & 3rd Ave

Baxter btwn Canal & Hester

The first Broken Bike pic with my new DROID. I'm up to a 5MP camera now. You'd think I'd be happy about such a huge camera upgrade from my original Palm Zire, but in truth I miss the low-res, grainy pics of the Zire. It had a distinct aesthetic. Maybe I'll pick one up on eBay just for kicks.

Sullivan btwn Spring & Prince

19th St btwn 5th & 6th Ave

Broome btwn West Broadway & Wooster

45th btwn Lex & 3rd

Back to work at RHT and score a gorgeous stripped rim for the collection

K St & 31st St, DC

5th Broken Bike outside of NYC. This one is down in DC. I was meeting up with my sister, bro-in-law, and their kids.

3rd St & 1st Ave

LMAO! Handlebars in the trash!!

Elizabeth btwn Grand & Broome

2nd Ave & 11th St

I wish this one was in focus. I really like the simplicity and contrast.

39th St btwn 2nd & 3rd Ave

and 3 days later I found a different Broken Bike on the same block

39th St btwn 2nd & 3rd Ave

6th St btw 1st Ave & Ave A

Same block, 3rd Bike.

6th St btw 1st Ave & Ave A

Same block, 2nd Bike.

6th St btw 1st Ave & Ave A

Ave C & 10th St

I love LES and Alphabet City. When I'm jonesin for some Broken Bikes, I just roll on down and shoot to my heart's content.

Mulberry btwn Prince & Spring

HUFFY BMX!!! and it's called UPROAR!! /RAWR

39th St btwn 2nd & 3rd Ave

It's not out of focus. You're drunk. Sober up man, really.

Houston and Norfolk St

I was on a tear today, snagging new bikes for the collection EVERYWHERE

Ave A btwn 1st & 2nd St

29th St btwn 2nd & 3rd Ave

At first I thought "maybe this isn't broken, maybe they just took the seat with them." But I doubt they took the seat AND the handlebars. Who knows, maybe they did. But I'm calling this broken until proven otherwise.

Spring Street 6 Train Station

I know this is really hard to see, but if you can make out that semi-round shape in the darkness, that is actually a rim of a tire. Couldn't resist snagging it for the collection.

Park Ave South btwn 28th & 29 St

3rd Ave btwn 37th & 38th St

A plethora of Broken Bikes. Zero sympathy for anyone that locks there bike up to this post.

Greenwich & Murray

Silver Spring Metro Station, MD

I went down to DC for a weekend to help my sister and her family move. My brother-in-law was on his way to pick me up at the Silver Spring Metro Station when I noticed this baby. I think this is only my 4th Broken Bike outside of NYC

42nd St & 3rd Ave

Wooster btwn Prince & Houston

Park Row & Murray St Ext.

OK OK. It's not technically broken. But I couldn't resist the snow covered bike.

Chambers btwn Broadway & Church

18th St btwn 5th & 6th Ave

57th St & 7th Ave

Two broken bikes in one of the busiest intersections in the heart of the city. Never ceases to amaze me how people are ripping these to pieces in the middle of all this activity.

Broadway between 57th & 58th St

2nd Ave & 7th St

dunno

37th & 3rd

Bowery btw Kenmare & Spring

Bowery btw Grand & Broome

AH! The new Blackberry Curve takes wonderful pictures!
This blackberry marks the 4th device i've used to capture images for this blog (and my other blog too). Those devices were a Palm Zire 71, Palm Treo 700p, Motorola krzr, and now a RIM Blackberry 8330 Curve.

The Palm Zire will always be my favorite for its grainy low res images. I miss that clunky old thing.

But the new Curve will no doubt serve me well. It even has a built-in flash for night shots down in the village.

Lafayette btw Prince & Spring

Hands down one of my new favorites. It says "STOLEN" in chalk on the sidewalk with arrows pointing to the bike and a chalk outline of a rider on a bike. Of course this is outside of a bike shop at the same location and they probably use it as an extremely effective sales technique to sell some hardcore locking mechanisms. The best part about this shot is that carnage is probably only 1-2 days old. Meaning they left a complete bike semi-chained to the pole out for just 1 night. The results are obvious.

Baxter btw Hester and Canal

The back rim in bent out of shape, though that is difficult to see from this angle.

Hester btw Baxter and Centre

Stripped clean down in Chinatown.

2nd Ave & St. Mark's Place

I think that's the right location. I took this pic from a cab and didn't record the exact location, but I'm pretty sure that's it.

dunno

I didn't record this location. It's probably somewhere around the Angelica Theater in SoHo.

Stanton and Orchard

And then of course on our way out and heading to go see The Wackness.

Orchard btw Houston and Stanton

On my way to a watering hole to catch up with my cousin Maryclaire (she's in the blue dress in the background, everyone wave). LES never fails to disappoint.

Houston btw Mott & Mulberry

38th btw 8th & 9th Ave

Avenue A btw 11th & 12th St

I found this on the last leg of my quest for Pepsi in a bottle. Surprisingly after wandering all over the East Village this was the only broken bike that I found.
