Now, when I say vandalized, I mean partially stolen. (You see criminals these days don’t actually have the ability to easily steal an entire bicycle with a quickness, so they just take the parts that they want.)
Wheels, headsets, saddles, lights, brakes, cassettes, pedals, handlebars, shifters – they’re all fair game.
So the owners of the bikes come back to the remaining carcass and then say, “Screw it, I’m buying a car,” or whathaveyou.
And then the unusable bikes remain for days, weeks, and months.
See?

If our dysfunctional City can’t see its way clear to criminalize bike theft, couldn’t it at least haul away the abandoned bike carcasses promptly?
I mean, we’re supposed to be a “world-class City” or something, right?
So how many tens of thousands of tourists have seen this one bike while walking into City Centre mall?
Is that a good thing?
Just asking, Bro.
