Found Bike gets repaired, ridden, and cashed in

I found a bike in the woods a couple of weeks ago, and it seems to have been there for quite some time. This is a section of Pisgah National Forest where you are very unlikely to find litter-this is not some city park. If this bike was left in an emergency, the owner certainly didn’t make it look so, and nobody has come back to get it.
I considered the circumstances briefly; maybe someone was hurt and left the bike? Maybe there was a crash and someone was rescued? None of these scenarios explain how the bike was thrown so far off trail with no destruction path. This was clearly a rage quit.
So today we’re going to clean the forest, have some fun, and hopefully get paid for it.

I had an all steel version of that bike when I was a teenager, and I rode the hell out of it for years until I got too tall for it. Learned how to maintain it and adjust the derailleurs, and I absolutely loved it. You're absolutely right, this is a case of neglect, pure and simple.

[@glennhuinda9783]

I have also a steel version of that too that was originally owned by my dad. Me and my younger brother broke it and it's frame is sitting in the storage for around 20 years. We revived it with new parts, welded disk brake caliper mounts and coverted it from thread type hub into a cassette type and now it was an awesome commuter bike where our streets are quite a bit rough and unpaved.

@@621ELECTRONICS not for mtb, but someone poor would need it

[@621ELECTRONICS]

@@blaxpy1463 True, the ones in perfectly good riding shape, yes, are just fine for transportation, but in this condition many poor people can't afford to fix them / buy a new wheel or other part. I have tried to sell bikes like this, and I can get them for free all the time, most needing work of some sort, which often far exceeds resale value if it does need parts, even just a set of tires / tubes. I sell bikes like this for $2 "complete" when I pickup scrap metal / bikes, and they get shipped to another country where bikes are harder to come by and they don't mind doing a little work on them. This at least saves them from the scrapyard, but otherwise not much interest, especially if they even remotely need some work, and most need something; if those people don't buy them from me, they go to the scrapyard (although I do not bother breaking them down, not worth all the time). I get what you're saying, and has potential to be basic transportation, even if the wheel is bent back straight / somewhat rideable, but still many people are not going to pay $10-$20 for a Walgoose or similar, or spend any money to fix them up. I've sold low end Trek's, Diamondback's & Schwinns for $10-$20, but not any Walgoose or similar super cheap bikes.

[@PresentedByBailey]

i was mtb'ing with a friend once. my friend broke his collar bone and in the process his front rim looked very similar to this bike's rim. so i said i would roll his bike out on the back wheel while he rolled mine out on two wheels since that would be the easiest. that worked. but had my friend been alone and broke his collar bone i don't think getting the bike out would have been a priority for him in his state. add the fact that the bike in this video is a Walmart bike. i see why the bike was left on the trail.

I have the exact same bike I bought 20 something years ago from Walmart. For riding around the house and on vacations it was a great bike. The entire gear set is rusted and locked up now though sitting in the basement. I have debated on scrapping the frame.

I came across an abandoned bike halfway between High Meadow and Star Lake near South Lake Tahoe. That’s pretty far up from the nearest main road, Pioneer Trail. Thing was it was a cheap copy of a ladies Raleigh 3 speed English bike. Whoever it was went to A LOT of effort to get it way up there only to hit something and bend the rim almost to the hub. Bloke missed out on his gnarly downhill ride, hope he enjoyed his walk back home. 😅 Having taken bike frames and bike parts both steel and aluminum to my local junk man I knew you were gonna come in under $5.

[@elcaminosoldier1]

Legend has it on still quiet nights you can still hear him "Where's my bike???"

[@OmegaSteel429]

Hey brother at least you broke it down and separated steel from aluminum. A lot of people don't do that

[@claytonmarkin7863]

Even with a low payout, I'm happy to see the bike get melted down for use again. I volunteer at a bike charity and we get a lot of bikes like that in, stuff that's not rideable and people get warm fuzzies by donating it to homeless people rather than throw the bike away. Unfortunately, a Walmart bike that's been left outside isn't really salvageable and it just clutters our warehouse. Weathered (zing) walmart bikes aren't really ride-able, and become an eyesore quickly. I think a lot of areas could really benefit from a rusted bike cleanup effort.

[@iunnox666]

Bikes like that aren't ridable off road, but they'll probably do fine for putting around at 10km/h like most people do.

[@newttella1043]

A cushy pub bike.

[@andrewo8987]

@@iunnox666 A guy on my cross country team tore his ACL. During rehab he racked up 2,800 miles on a Genesis Wal Mart full suspension bike. I offered to let him use a spare police model Fuji I had setup for light trail riding but he declined. The fork seized up first, then the rear shock, then things got weird. The bike just started getting loose. Like I'd tighten things but the low quality hardware would just shred when I went to tighten things the third or fourth time. Tires were scavenged from long abandon bikes on campus. It was impressive.

[@jimwagner6260]

The right way to scrap is by the truck load. And don't bother with the break down. The grinder will do that.

[@captaincoyote1792]

As a retired Federal land manager and law enforcement officer (USFWS)....I always - absolutely always - tried to give off- road bicyclists the benefit of the doubt. Why? Because my feeling was that 90% of them were decent people, engaging in an environmentally clean sport....and who - for the most part- appreciated and respected the natural world. Conversely, I always - absolutely always - hammered those I caught littering, dump garbage on or otherwise from their direct impact, damage trust Wildlife or habitat resources. So Seth, I personally enjoyed your creative spirit--in making this video- which seemed rooted in an obvious appreciation and respect for federal lands. Bravo-Zulu, amigo!

[@RyZe791]

this video shows how bringing some fixing tools could make the bike a bit rideable after a crash or something

I had really bad slam and broke my collar bone last week. My bike was smashed up with my front wheel totally taco'ed to the max. I hid my bike in the bushes, so I could go back and collect it at a later date, while I walked home in agony holding my arm. I had an operation the other day to pin my clavicle together and I'm now wearing an arm brace for 12 weeks. I plan on going back up the trail this weekend with my buddy to retrieve my Mongoose and take it home. Wait a second.......!?!?! SEEEEEEETH!!!

[@wolfrikvonschwarzblut3921]

That poor bike is almost the same as my first MTB, also a Mongoose. At least my little ol' Blackcomb had an RST fork, mechanical disc brakes and Shimano Alivio drivetrain. I rode the hell out of it when I was in middle school. Even though it always made me feel inferior when looking at the other rich guys with their bikes worth as much as my dad's car, I would've never abandoned my trusty Mongoose at the forest. And it gave me so much fun.

[@coypatton3160]

I commend anyone that removed someone else’s trash from the woods! Good Job Seth! That said, most things abandon in the woods is trash and will be thrown away. As Seth’s adventure shows, this bike was not worth the tear down effort. Maybe a beginner bike for someone you are willing to help to rebuild a bike with-new wheels, tires, and the list goes on and on…. Perhaps it is someone that would cover parts cost and you can assist in learning how to maintain a bike.

Seth knows its not so safe to ride that bike with those wheels. so i think this is why he didnt sell it as it is. For somebody with little bicycle knowledge it could be dangerous

[@ericmueser6950]

I think he didn't want to be responsible for anyone riding a bike that dangerous.

[@crazyjoedavola9002]

Yeah, but that wheels are dirt cheap, buy used ones, or you maybe have spares. He already invested time, part and money in fixing it to rideable condition, why not finish it and give it to some neighbor kid who would love to ride it. No one normal would drive that on that dirt tracks, but some kid on suburban street would sure want to. I know this is made for fun but it didn't have to end this way 😀🚴
