What do you do when you pack up camp and you find that you have 3-4 mooped bikes, and most of the other camps have gone already?

Re: mooped bikes
Thu, September 27, 2007 - 10:27 AMOh, and I want to clarify that the bikes we brought home were from a stack of 20-30, in the middle of an empty camp (nothing but the bikes left), after watching them for 24 hours, and on Tuesday after the event. By that point I felt like I was helping with the moop issue.

Wed, September 26, 2007 - 3:36 PMMaybe list them on eplaya Lost and Found first? Maybe they are mis-appropriated bikes that were dumped near your camp. Maybe they belong to someone.

Re: mooped bikes
Wed, September 26, 2007 - 3:48 PMleave them up in the front corner of your camp, with a note about where they came from. People will later collect them for possible reclaiming by their original owners. At the end of the event they are considered unclaimed bikes - many of them could have been stolen and dumped, not mooped on you by their owners. -

Thu, September 27, 2007 - 9:13 AMThanks everyone!
Ya, we didn't have room for them, so we left them on the street corner, but I felt uneasy about just leaving them there.
Hopefully some of them were found by their owners, and if not maybe the yellow-bike program took them. -

Re: mooped bikes
Thu, September 27, 2007 - 10:24 AMwell, my instructions above are what the folks who pick them up and try to reunite them with their owners have said to do...so don't worry about leaving them there, you're not a mooper. :-)

Re: mooped bikes
Wed, September 26, 2007 - 10:16 PMThe person camping next to us left a tent and two bikes. He apparently just drove out Sunday and left the tent set up with the bikes piled in front. I would have taken one of the bikes if I'd had room on my rack because it seemed to be a pretty good Diamondback. -

Thu, September 27, 2007 - 4:53 PMor he may have gone back later, and helped clean up after event. he might have needed more ice ;)
hard to guess what really happened unless you know..it would have sucked for him, if you thought you knew and took the bike and then were wrong....but of course if you took it, you would have left your name and number in case it was a mistake :) -

Fri, September 28, 2007 - 12:09 AMYeah, I wasn't totally sure, but he had an SUV parked next to the tent/bikes when he was there, and the SUV was missing from early Sunday through Monday morning when we left. This was at about 6:50 on Intertidal, if you're reading this shout out, tent/bikes guy. -

Re: mooped bikes
Wed, October 3, 2007 - 7:59 PMPlease listen ot CTP. He is 100% correct with his advice. I collect all bikes left on cite. I then run them thru lost and found. The official policy : Do not take home a bike that is not yours. Do take home your bike, no donations please. If it isn't yours leave it on the corner or neat pile for my crew to collect. If you take them home, I can't match them to lost bike reports. And yes we do donate unclaimed bikes to charity, and run the yellow bike project. No they do not end up in the dumpster. And if you really need a free bike please ask me instead of taking one at random. BIKES ARE NOT MOOP THEY ARE PROPERTY.
