Maybe somebody broke it by other means, or maybe it was removed to add some drama to this "life"cycle exercise.<br /><br />The chain (also by Kryptonite) looks to be one of the sturdier ones. It may well have been the city that cut that one, so as to free up the rack for parking.<br /><br />What's with the Advil "spoke card?"

Yeah it's true...Waste of a perfectly good bike. Yeah it's true we live among petty thieves, is that any surprise, does that really warrant an "experiment"? That bike deserved better IMO.<br /><br />Besides the sequence looks rather contrived. At the start the bike is locked with what appears to be a Kryptonite "Fuhgeddaboutit" --one of the toughest locks you can buy. Somewhere around day 200 the lock disappears from the scene. Sorry I don't believe that some thief went through the trouble of dismantling this hardened steel u-lock just to leave the bike sitting there. Rather I think a perfectly good bike was sacrificed to make a silly time-lapse art project.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
