Nice Bikes Rahm
- Oh, Divvy. What are we going to do with you?
Police are looking for the man who robbed a woman in the Loop early today while he rode past on a Divvy bike. The 35-year-old woman and three friends were walking in the 700 block of South State when the Divviot pedaled up on his baby blue bike around 2:20 a.m.
A struggle broke out when he grabbed the woman’s purse, causing him to crash the bike. After gaining control of the woman’s orange Coach clutch, the man ran away, leaving the Divvy behind. The victim and her friends chased after the man for a moment but gave up. No one was injured.
On the brighter side, for the couple of bucks the victim lost in her purse, taxpayers got a bike back valued at $1,200. She and her friends ought to get a medal.

He was a divvy-it.
Put the cameras on the bikes and record the robberies. Then sell the videos to those cop shows. Never let a crisis go to waste.
Hopefully it the next intended victim has a license CCW and let’s freedom ring... I know it’s kind of odd but why should a honest citizen need a license to to excercise their 2nd amendment on the street vs home; while the Supreme Court says constitutionally a person has the right to defend themselves (in democrat havens, you need a license though)... but you do not need a license to speak freely. The same idea you you need a license for free speech.
This argument was not mine— every thing I mentioned about the 2nd amendment was said by the Supreme Court
Ban and confiscate Divvy Bikes. Divvy Bikes cause crime by maiming and killing people. And they are not covered under the second amendment. Chop them up and melt them.
No off description given but channel 7 (?) Said another man tried to help after off took off but it was discovered he later met up and fled with off. . .so now you have to watch whose offering to help you. Its the bait and switch or see whats left to pick/take
Her Coach Clutch alone was probably worth more than that beat up POS Divvy bike.
Did anyone bother to actually, you know, IMPOUND the bike?
1200 bucks ... Are you shitting me ... Wal - Mart has them for 89.00 drive out
Channels 32, 9 & 7 all state that it was ‘a man’ of the Divvy bike who grabbed this purse. All Chicagoan must be on alert for a man’. If you spot ‘a man’ on a Divvy bike, immediately call 911.
I love when the "snowflakes" get ROB....
Snowflake loses overpriced purse. City gets back overpriced bike. I like it.
just rattle the front handle bar and TAHDA, bike is free to go.
i sickened that tax payers are funding this, and DIVY "aka" rahm and friends are the profiteers.
this sounds like a restaurant deal i know of at millennium park.......
$1200 for a simple coaster brake bike? Why I've seen bikes similar to those sold at Target for under $200.
Too bad she wasnt a CCW holder, then the Demorats would lose another vote.

Sincerely, The Area.

Sarah schulter at channel 7 is so far up Rahm’s ass she stinks. She refuses to report on any crimes by feral predators.
The Divvy bikes are Dutch built and are made like tanks with the built in lighting. They would have to be for all the use they get. That is why they are valued at $1,200. A Walmart/Target type bike would be trashed by normal use within a few months. signed, a bike enthusiast
Where does the money for Divy bikes go ?????? I bet to Rahm's pocket
Rahm and his Democrat progressive socialists have really pushed all this bike crap, Divvy bikes, bike lanes, bike paths, bike the Drive, bike naked in the Loop. They are getting you ready for after the revolution. Did you ever notice that in China, North Korea et. al. that everyone is on bikes and only the political ruling elite are the ones allowed to have cars. We have been well on our way to this considering the "one party state" ruling class of Chicago. And after the revolution those blue Divvy bikes will be painted red.

That description works wonderfully in the Amazonian kingdom where Wonder Woman is from
Divvy bikes getting stolen and found all over the city. Divvy bikes used in thefts, robberies and a car jacking. Just so you you know, another government program gone awry and costing taxpayers money. Divvy Bikes was created with your tax dollar from grants from the federal government.
Since Divvy Bikes are touted to be so good for all Chicagoans and tourists it's about time Rahm and the rest of the politicians joint the Green movement" and practice what the preach. Take away those gas guzzling SUVs and replace them with the Divvy Bikes. And there would be no shortage of CPD bike officers that could pedal with Rahm. Then Rahm wouldn't have to spend his precious time at the gym every morning. And think of what it could do for Special Ed.
never mind a medal. the women all need to get concealed carry permits. the only justice in cook county is the justice a person does for themselves. vote out all the judges nad all cook county officials.
Chicago has become a shithole City under democrat Rahm Emanuel
Shithole Chicago media ..TV, newspaper .. arms of democrats , Madigan, Rahm Emanuel
Sophia “I’m friends with the Obamas “ king, the alderman of that area and Burke clouted merit Pigott have blatantly refused to do anything about crime in the south loop. They refuse to address multiple citizens complaints about aggressive begging that targets seniors and the disabled. The caps officer will not respond to any requests. Rahm’s and Kings donors continue to park in no parking zones with vests in the windows in personal cars. There are serious environmental issues at the Essex that king refuses to address. Also park district corruption that also goes unaddressed by king. Her husband is a law partner of Jesse Ruiz. These scum know they are protected by Rahm and do whatever they want. Rahm must be defeated.
Could be a Coach commercial: it wasn't the chick,
it wasn't the bread, it was the orange leather Coach.
For God sakes man, just stop by Dick's and get an
outfielder's glove.
What were they doing walking around downtown at 2:20AM for?
Did. They at least call to see if they could get some fresh finger prints off of the bike?
The purse is worth as much as the bike. It was a considerable loss for the victim.
Divvy bikes at the airport, would be more reliable than the O’Hare train system
Thanks to Rahm even if they don’t steal them “community” members pay much less for a Divvy acoount than your or I would.
Breaking news!
City of Chicago is expanding the dockless bikes in hopes that more will be stolen!
Mayor Rham Rat Emanuel announced that this expansion will create a win-win with profits of 500% and over "This is a great day for Chicago, we are providng activities for our Yuts! in an ecologically green manner and we are increasing the green ventures that represent Chicago values!"
Not the Onion, but onion like!

You're kidding, right?
I did the math on this before and have just done it again. From the Trib:
The differences between neighborhoods are stark. In the low-income West Side neighborhood of Austin, for example, there are 14 Divvy stations that saw a total of 1,339 trips from July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017. Affluent lake-bordering Lincoln Park, by contrast, has 36 stations that saw 452,727 trips during that time period.
A station in Lincoln Park is renting 33 bikes a day - this is an average. Figure much more in the summer and much fewer in the winter. A station in Austin rents ONE BIKE EVERY 4 DAYS.
This is why we cannot have nice things.
I nominate commenter @ 7/28/2018 09:31:00 AM "dramatization" as most hilarious comment of the year!!!

thanks for the laugh on a Monday.
