i found an old folding bike that looks kind of like pic related
it's rusty but it drives fine and the coaster brake works-- hav't tried folding it up yet
i put a vague found ad up on craigslist but if no one can describe it to me i'm keeping it
it looks like fun especially now that my other vintage bmx is fucked up from somebody trying to steal it.. but is there anything i should know about folding bikes?
am i going to crush the frame riding it around? or are they ok?
You'll be fine
Make sure the folding mechanism actually works

ah yes
i was planning on working it over completely in a week or two when i'm more sure no one's looking for it
also
..
is there a protocol for finding bikes? this isn't the first bike i've found but i usually just have the police pick them up because they are obviously stolen and i don't really want to track down the owner myself or i just don't have any use for the bike
this one just looks cool to me and i like simple bikes and it looks more old and run down than your run of the mill stolen alley bike.. like maybe someone just put it outside their garage to get rid of it or something?

i find most of them in the alley behind my apartment where drug addicts and homeless people sometimes hang out and stash them
this one in particular i found a few kms in a nicer neighborhood away near the garage i rent to store my toys
