Nice Bike Dude

Remember those little shops that would repaint and retag a hot ride for thieves back in the day?


Someone has a new take on an old job.

"Worth" less than $100.00

"Valued" at $1200.00 to $1500.00

Why they bother Policemen with arresting
these mutts when the circuit court judges
and CCSAO reduces/shit-cans the charges
is a mystery.

Now that's funny. Should have saved the cost of the paint. No way you could not be found guilty if you are caught riding that thing. But if you are riding a Devy you must be guilty of something even if it is only poor taste. Perhaps Earl Shive is back in business--any bike for 19.95 no ups no extras.

500 missing, that's a cool $1.25 million the city is out. Oh well at least the community has some free transportation. Just why would the city enter into a contract with a private company and then have to pay for each bike? Think the bikes should be provided by company then the city and company split revenue or company is charged rental space for each location and has to supply bikes. Why not lo jack on bikes or exploding seats for stolen bikes.

If the headline below was about police officers it would lead the local nightly news and the front page of local papers.

"County Board approves $11M to settle 2 malpractice lawsuits."

Cook County Health and Hospitals System CEO John Jay Shannon said settlements aren’t an admission of malpractice or wrongdoing.

The real question that should be asked, is how much value are they insured for and does the City somehow pay a “fine” for every bike stolen from city property. Someone is making money from this scam and if Drunkpants Savini had an ounce of investigative reporter in him, he would investigate that instead of the police driving one way down the street. I know that the same as a prostitute calling for an investigation and crackdown on the “Johns” that are their best customers. He won’t shine a light on his political “masters.” Open wide Savini....

SCREEEEE! Clank! Thump!

Wheels all out of round and handlebars askew...

Runs up in de sto' an' comes out with a grape pop
an' a extra-large pickle-in-a-sleeve.

Priorities an' shit.
No?

We say again...

"Worth?"
$100.00 or less.

"Value?"
$1250.00 or so.

Taxpayers getting skinned for this silly shit.

The propeller heads who dreamed this up
ought to all be made to run on air at the end
of a rope gladly furnished by the taxpayers...

>Shoes on the wrong feet desperately seeking traction<

Now throw in all the dedicated "bike lane-age"
and silly plastic posts screwed into the pavement
and time wasted/fuel burned because arterial streets
have been choked down to one lane each way to put on
appearance as if Chicago is a "Bike Friendly City."

Shit...

Chicago ain't even vehicle or pedestrian friendly...

>SCREEECH! Crash! Pop-pop-poppity-pop-pop-kapop!<

So why the fuck burn money on more useless-assed
shit pandering to the drop-in-the-bucket number
of people who actually ride?

I was in Shanghai for two weeks for business and noticed literally thousands of bicycles which were relatively unsecured sitting on the sidewalk in front of factories and businesses.

Dockless bike sharing is a wonderful solution to the 'last mile' issue of providing transportation from the bus stop to work. It is so sad that this would never work in Chicago because the losses incurred due to theft.
