I was chatting on Saturday night with a friend who told me a gnarly story...
Her and a friend were riding along one of the roads parallel to the canal between Kingsland Rd and Broadway Market one night a week ago. They passed some kids on scooters and carried on riding. The kids chased after them and took their back wheels out with the font wheel of there scooters. They both crashed, the kids U turned and stole one of their bikes(over the shoulder job) and made off leaving one of the girls bikes, after having nocked her off as well.
Not cool and one to be aware of...

FROM PROLLY IS NOT PROBABLY
"I just got pulled by a cop on Delancey, who took my bike and put it in the back of a van. Told me "these kinds of bikes are illegal now even with a brake". He was polite about it; even though it was an asshole thing to do. I kept asking him when this law was passed and how they planned on dealing with Williamsburg. He snickered and said "We went around to bars and loft buildings last night, cutting them down".
There ya have it. The NYPD's recent anti-bicycle rampage has come to fruition. I had to walk 12 blocks to my office this morning. Now I have a slip and a court date. The cop didn't even care that I had just bought a bell too!
What the hell is wrong with NYC?"
