Stealing bikes? No...
I want to see how everyone else feels about this. I would (personally) call it 're-allocating' bicycles.
Maybe it's the economist in me, but I hate seeing bicycles not being taken care of or at least put to use.
For example;
- A bike sat all through fall, winter, and most of spring at my University, locked up outside, never touched. I took it home, fixed it up, and gave it away to someone who wanted a bike to ride.
- A bike had been sitting abandoned near the bike lock-up near my workplace - blown back tire, but otherwise alright. I took that one home too, although I put up notification in case it was somebody's stolen bike.
- A derelict bike in a high traffic area - I give it one day, and if it's still there, I take it home and fix it on up.
Am I deluding myself into thinking this is ok Karma?
Am I a bad person, or just 'crafty'?
