First, when I was locking my bike outside of my bank (front wheel on quick release, so locked alongside the frame and thre rear with single kryptonite lock) I have noticed two shady characters talking about my bike.
45 minutes later when I was out again unlocking the bike thay come again asking if I really needed to lock the bike like that in front of a bank - I snapped something about not caring about the bank since it wasn't mine and left.
Ten minutes later I collided with another bike and went down. This was in no car zone, I was far enough into the road not to be afraid of pedestrians but this lady rode cross ways with her head turned other way. She left before I checked my bike.
Yet another 10 minutes and I merged right about 100 feet in front of a messenger riding fully suspended mountain bike. He caught up at the next red light and said " But you are f**ked when you have to brake"
WTF?
