ABANDONED BICYCLE: Found in Westwood

Recognize that bicycle? It was abandoned this week in front of a house near Westwood Village. The finder has already used BikeIndex.org and social media to try to find the owner, no luck, so they’re casting a wider net here. If it’s yours, let us know and we’ll connect you.

    That is a Novara bike which is REI’s old name brand, so therefore it was purchased at REI.  The finder can provide REI with the serial number and REI will hopefully be able to contact its original purchaser.  If the bike still belongs to the original purchaser then problem solved!

    By the way, that Novara Carema Pro is a sweet women’s geometry bike even though it’s probably a decade old.  We’ll take it off the finder’s hands if they don’t know what to do with it.  :)

    If they don’t find an owner would they consider gifting it to us. We had our bike stolen recently and could certainly use it. Also it’s my birthday today. Hopefully you guys find the owner, that REI database sounds like a good lead.

    We tried REI, but no luck there either. Their response was they don’t have digital tracking for Novara bikes by serial number and that paper records are files by name instead of serial number.

    For the person that has the bike and also anyone looking for a bike.https://bikeworks.org/check out Bike Works.

      Yes, Bike Works is great. We’ve donated several bikes and buckets of parts to them over the years. Thanks for the reminder. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
