That gentle rusting-away process can be quite pretty and photogenic.
My collection of rusting, abandoned bikes is a major part of my Lamma photos on this site! Post YOUR photos for our virtual ABC:

The Water-Pumping Bike a few days ago, on the path from Tai Peng to the Cable Route.

It's been raining so much lately, no more water-pumping required and in our subtropical, jungle-like conditions anything abandoned grows over within just a few months.

Got any photos for our Antique Bikes Collection?
