hello nyc!

well, pat yourself on the back. why? because for some random reason (or maybe you are just really bored) you have found our site. we are hoping you enjoy what you read and join in the fun of becoming a bikeswiper too!

what the heck is bikeswiper?
we are 2 cyclists living in NYC on a mission to help reduce bicycle theft by pointing out morons who have no clue how to lock up their bikes and then rewarding those of you who deserve to be for not being a moron/locking up your bike properly.
what is the purpose of our mission?
we want to help you learn how to properly lock up your bike; help the morons learn how to lock up their bikes better and maybe score some fans along the way :)
what will we do?
when we spot your bike you either get (1) of (2) stickers w/ decals as seen below. we then photograph your bike and post it to this site w/ our own personal rant or rave. until we have the stickers, we will still take submissions. see details below.
how the heck does this work?
the idea is, if you find the sticker on your bike (don't worry, we won't physically stick it your frame) you then visit our site and learn a little something. on our site you will find one of two tags that declare that the owner of the tagged bike is either:

a) NOT a moron, hence the bike w/ all of it's lovely components.

b) a moron, hence a hunk of metal (the bike frame missing its components) to do arm curls all night long on a long walk home.

can other people join in the fun?
that is the other big idea. once we get out stickers in, send us an email and we will send you stickers so you can help the mission.
what we do until we get the stickers?
when you spot a hot ass set of wheels that are either owned by a moron or non-moron, photograph it and then submit your photo to us that same day so we can rant or rave about it. once we get stickers in, we will get them to you.


ok, we are excited to get this party started. please submit your photos now to me and I will tag them on the site and of course... comments are always welcome.


thx!
