  1. Last year someone locked his bike to mine. I went psycho. I dismantled the bike, removing most of the hardware, snipped the spokes, deflated the tires and then bent the wheels in half. Managed to pull all the fragments through the big triangle of my own frame. Somehow it worked and I even got to work on time. Not one of my finer moments and looking down at the remains of the other bike I felt a little sorry for being so rash. Living here brings out the bad in me.

  2. This happened to me, and they ended up stealing my bike. The cops said if this ever happens to call them, and they'll come and cut the lock. Good luck.

  3. Seems we tax payers are subsidizing NYU. Its not enough they register their buses iN New Jersey, but we pay to pick up their garbage?
