Busy Bee Bike Shop is NOT going out of business

[January 2012]

A tipster sent us the following Craigslist listing last night...



Per the ad: "We at busy bee bike shop are closing down due to the lease going up, so we are giving away free used bicycles."

However. The ad is a FAKE. Per a listing today:



BUSY BEE BIKES (East Village)
THERE ARE NO FREE BICYCLES BEING DISTRIBUTED AT ANY TIME. WE ARE NOT GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. WE HAVE BICYCLE RENTALS AND BIKES FOR SALE.

No word at the moment who was responsible for the fake Craigslist listing.

    That's a effed-up, shady thing to do.
