I was locked infront of giannas 6th and south yesterday for an hour or so, the corner of 11th and washington by the 7/11, some party at 16th and montrose, and today I was only locked up at super fresh at 10th and south and the fence along the gas station at broad and catherine.

anyone else see the new segway cops around the logan square/rittenhouse area? I'm thinking that I have to do something illegal just t owatch one of them try to chase me on that thing.

babychris
05-30-07, 03:20 PM
I hope the segways are tricked out and have NOS.
or they are scraper segways.

mide
05-30-07, 03:29 PM
yeah but "scrapin on my scraper.. segway" doesn't sound as ballin.

celephaiz
05-30-07, 03:34 PM
wait, we can't afford to put enough cops on the street but we can give them segways so that the one's we have can get fatter, more out of shape, and less capable of doing their jobs? Brilliant.

ryand
05-30-07, 10:48 PM
scrapin on my scraper bicycle doesn't sound right either.

bike is a shortened version of bicycle.

try shortening segway.

i know we can make this awesome.

babychris
05-30-07, 11:44 PM

if you're locking the bike up by the top tube, your lock is the culprit. thieves without tools will use your bike as leverage to break your lock. even if it playdoh's your frame. i've had to liberate some bikes for customers because their locks were all bent out of shape and their frames ruined because of this.
if you weren't locking from the top tube. someone may have taken a prybar to your lock and used your frame as leverage.

ryand
05-31-07, 09:08 AM
you can build that bottechia.

also, i can get you a complete pinarello funny bike for $225.

you want?

But seriously, forks. I need to borrow a bike because I'm too cheap to ship mine up there. Anyone got anything in a 57-59cm flavor?
