He said while they do take in bikes for scraps, they have not seen a spike in the number of people coming in to sell frames and most of the bikes that do come in are old and undrivable.“The amount of money that people would get for a bike is so minuscule that I really don’t think it is worth it,” Rinzler said, noting the average bike frame would be valued at about $2 at the scrap yard.According to Codiac RCMP, the number of bicycle thefts in Greater Moncton has risen 10 per cent over last year at this time.
