Bottecchia in Union Square

Bottecchia in Union Square

November 22, 2003

An old Bottecchia was sitting in the traffic island at Park Avenue South and 15th Street just east of Union Square. It has been there at least three week. I'm no expert, but Bottecchia appears to an Italian producer of high-end racing bikes (their founder(?) won the Tour de France about 80 years ago). If so, this is the first high-quality abandoned bicycle I've found in New York.
