the Save on Fifth must be having a sale on packaging tape. it appears as though the owner of this bike either a) forget their 2nd lock at home or b) wants to be very unfriendly to the environment by securing their bike w/ a small u-lock and... clear packaging tape. the only other possibility I can conjure up is that while the bike is parked, the front wheel has a mind of its own and it likes to roll away for fun. either way, while the owner did a great job using a mini u-lock to secure down his rear wheel and frame, they FAIL for locking up the front of the bike AND frame using only what we assume was, discounted packaging tape. anybody need their Mother's Day gift wrapped? NEXT!


is it me or does the bike on the right have a weird extra appendage? oh, what a second, that must be one of those front fenders to prevent crotch splotting, but this one appears to be bent and broken. what is crotch splotting? in my own world it is the kick-up of dirt or wet stuff from the ground and onto your crotch, hence, crotch splotting. it's always good to have protection before a date if you know what I mean. or it could simply be the front part of the fork and I am just a sick f*ck who really wanted to type out the word crotch a few times. anyways, Im hoping that it's owner took the front wheel inside w/ them, but am inclined to assume that they dumbfoundedly left it w/ the bike and some local delivery boy scored himself a nice, gently-used front tire. ok, now lets focus on the lock job on the left. good enough to make me squeal like a fake orgasm (did I just say that out loud?!). Im gonna give props to this cyclist for their amazing display in front of Paragon Sports earlier today. not only did they lock it up in the highest theft area of NYC, but they did a superb job locking it down by 1) using the u-lock in the front, 2) the chain in the back and frame and 3) the cable for the saddle. sure, they are carrying around what is equivalent to a 7-yr old boy on them while it isn't locked down, but at least they will have a strong core at the next round of beer pong. NEXT!
