Ok, so, I moved away from Provo in June of 2002. Nearly two years ago now. I forgot to load my bike on the truck, which pissed me off at first, but I quickly got over it, since I ahven't had the slightest glimmer of a temptation to ride it over the prolific hills in the NoVA area.
This last week I got a letter from BYU traffic services delivered to my parents' home, informing me that they picked up my bike in Nov of last year. That's uh.. 17 months after I moved. Good to know they're on the ball.
Now, I had written that bike off. I never expected to hear about it again. But now I know that I have till Wednesday to pick it up and pay the $5 fine. Now I kinda want it, but there's a) no way for me to get it, and b) no way for me to move it out here if could get it.
Anyway, what does this mean? This means that anyone who tells me they want to do it in sufficient time for me to call the BYU police can have my bike for $5. The only condition is they have to let me have it back if I ever deside I'll get it out here for a reasonable cost (not going to happen anytime soon). I make no guarantees as to the condition of the bike. It did, after all, spend 17 months exposed to the elements and not being used. However, you can't do much better than the price.
I can't even remember what kind of bike it was. But it was purple and green (and i'm assuming from the fact that it has been removed from the bike rack that it no longer has a bike lock). It was a 21 speed mountain bike, of a mid-range quality.
Let me know if you want it. i'll make the call and let them know you're coming. This offer expires after Wednesday, when they'll sell it (I *think* you can get it after that, but they claim they'll sell it without notice after that point).
