An old housemate left this bike at our house years ago. They're long gone, but the bike remains. Before we get rid of it, I'm curious as to what the hell you'd actually call this kind of bike? What are those gears called? I know it's probably just an old piece of trash, but it's got my curiosity nonetheless.
If anyone could throw a little info my way, that'd be appreciated!
Thank you for your time.

A parts bin bike
That’s a vintage road bike with friction shifters.
No
I feel like electrical tape would be worse than no tape at all

It’s an extremely low end road bike.
These replies have given me a good laugh, thanks bike nerds
50 year old bike from Sears.

Consuela. Consuela is a good name.
I would name that bike *Lenny Landfill*
Looks like a Bontrager saddle, not a very good one though.
I have a old univega arrow speed with similar components which is a Leo end bike but this bike is somehow even lower
Name it “The Paradox”. Because, how could this still exist. Also this must have been a MTB because of the stem and the crankset, it has 3 chainrings. Slap a dropbar and 2 safety brake levers and you got your self a “road bike”. Good job room mate
