Ever heard of a documentary blog? For 30 days, Jon McGill closely followed the life of a bike, chained to a fence in Brooklyn. Every day he photographed and took notes about the bike’s current situation. Will anyone come to the rescue of this poor little seatless two-wheeler? Is it doomed to be hauled off by the city? More about this project and the fate of this bike after the jump.

Below is small sampling of days. For the full experience, head over to the 30 Days of Bike blog.

Day 2 –”No respect. This bike might as well be invisible. This was tough to see. I had to remind myself that, as a documentarian, it wasn’t my place to step in and lend a hand. Surprisingly the tires remain relatively clean and the paint color still manages to exude enthusiasm. It’s a triumph of spirit really. What happened to the seat though?”

Day 4 — “A troubling sign materialized today. The letters DW spray painted on the ground. As well as some spray paint near the inordinately large chain utilized to subdue and detain our subject. Is a city-worker induced release in the near future and what happens then? I fear the little purple pedaler could face euthanization.”

Day 11 — “They were going to lunch. She was going nowhere.”

Day 18 — “There is always someone out there worse off than you.”
