"which is why people who don't live in mayberry lock their bikes..."

bike thieves are freakin insane in this city. they can break almost any lock if they really wanted to. buy one of those kryptonite NYC chains/ulocks that have insurance.

Maybe s/he thought the skull flag would be enough to ward them off.

Also, what is hanging from the handlebars? Nails??

- Hello, Dad? Its me...-

- Yes, son? -

- You know that bike you and Mom got me on Amazon for $99? Y'know...the kids style one that all my douchebag friends think is so ironic and cool? -

- Yes....-

- Well, um. Can you buy me another? I know I should have used my lock and stuff but I didn't and someone stole it.-

- I ~warned~ you about moving to New York City, especially in that depressing, blighted overpriced ghetto you said was 'gentryfying' -

- C'mon Dad...Just get me another bike OK? -

- Of course, junior. You got it, champ-

I love that guy! That was brilliant and hilarious!

I've seen similar flyers about home equity aimed at the bear market.

No top bar, which may mean nothing since the drawing is "from memory," but it's interesting how many people gravitated towards male pronouns.

that's because you are small minded.

Posted by: grumpygirl at August 20, 2009 6:52 PM

Posted by: Misty B at August 20, 2009 7:00 PM

Posted by: aj at August 20, 2009 7:03 PM

THAT is the dumbest shit I've seen all week. thank you

Posted by: jack slade at August 20, 2009 10:39 PM

altervoce, totally: why does it necessarily have to be a dude? (Although like bxgirl, I am fantasizing that it is, and he's hot . . . )

Posted by: iz at August 21, 2009 10:37 AM

That's pretty funny but your dumbass should have locked up your bike with a real lock. If you have a front lawn then guess what I hate you.

There's a t-shirt hidden behind those:

Wow, you guys trashed this kid. One speed bike, left on the lawn with a skull flag. Reference to monster truck. Not an adult. Definitely a child. Way to go.

Posted by: kevmusic at August 21, 2009 8:20 PM

funny...but in a slightly depressing "I want to grow up to be Judd Apatow" kind of way.
