There are 4 definitely abandoned bikes in our work car park. Pete, our attendant and all round excellent chap, said I can have them if I can get them off the racks.
I don't have bolt croppers, an angle grinder or a van. All of which would probably be necessary. Nor do I have the inclination to strip bits off them. If they are not removed they will be going in a skip along with the rack when the building is closed and refurbished, which would be a shame.
So - if you have the necessary equipment and the inclination, and can get to the Tottenham Court Road area during Mon-Fri standard working hours, you can have them to do with as you please (except the rack on the step through which I'm going to snaffle).
Give them to your friends, donate them to charity, restore and ride the fuck out of them, I don't care. All I'd ask is that in return you slip Pete a thank you (that's worth something in the bank, not Bangkok please) because he's a standup generous chap that earns fuck all but brightens the day of everyone in my company. This isn't compulsory - we'd rather they were put to some use than in a landfill, but karma and that.
Replies or PM if of interest and I can have a look at things in more detail to answer any questions / organise a time.

Not sure what the other one is, but it's some kind of hybrid
