How a fruit vendor helped save a bike on First Avenue

Dave on 7th shared this anecdote from yesterday... the incident occurred on First Avenue just north of 14th Street... A DOT crew removed a street sign. A bicycle happened to be attached to the sign. The crew was ready to just leave the bike chained to itself on the sidewalk.

However! A fruit vendor down the block intervened and convinced the crew to reattach the bike to a lamp post near his cart.
