Time Limit to Bike Parking?
Does anyone know if there’s a limit to how long a person is allowed to keep his bike locked up to a public bike rack? It’s an admittedly small gripe in the grand scheme of things, but someone locked up this Ross in our preferred parking spot in Dumbo a few weeks ago and has…
Does anyone know if there’s a limit to how long a person is allowed to keep his bike locked up to a public bike rack? It’s an admittedly small gripe in the grand scheme of things, but someone locked up this Ross in our preferred parking spot in Dumbo a few weeks ago and has yet to return for it. Bike parking’s at a premium around our office building and at a certain point this violates the social contract, no?
You’ve all got it wrong, everyone is posting because they know Mr. B will read the thread to see what we think. We’re all showing off.
*Rob* says “i’ve been hit by a bike at LEAST 10 times living in nyc.” how did you accomplish this? Do you stand in a bike lane facing backwards with your eyes closed?
this *Rob* character seems to be a real bundle of joy. He hates cars. He hates children. He hates vegans. He doesn’t like Amsterdam (who the hell doesn’t like Amsterdam?). He REALLY hates bikes, and especially bike culture.
newsflash…in urban environments, bikes ARE the future. I say this as a sometime driver, stroller pusher, pedestrian, and cyclist. Don’t like it? I hear the Unibomber is selling his cabin.
what did you expect to happen in a thread about mrb not finding a bike parking spot (lol) that got to 100 posts? there were def. lots of good posts in this thread tho. sorry i brought up cows and the ozone layer.

CG ups, I’ll pipe up just so you aren’t accused of being a threadkiller. Good luck with the MRI and ensuing recovery.
“From the very first post, this has been an assinine thread.”
DIBS, it’s all your fault for immediately providing a reasonable solution. Had you held on to that little bit of common sense, we might still have been trying to solve the problem rather than discussing the effects of cow farts on the ozone layer.
srsly dibs, agreed. this thread has gone completely nutburgers. I’m glad I refrained from commenting about my own recent bike vs. car // bike vs. pedestrian issues. (ps. got the MRI results today, and I get to look forward to surgery. Screws. In. My. Foot. blerg.
Will I be the threadkiller?!? 🙂
People don’t have the room to store a bike in their apartment. This bike probably belongs to someone who lives or works nearby and they just haven’t needed it since they locked it that day.
From the very first post, this has been an assinine thread.
“pedestrians have the RIGHT of way to walk where they want. that is how i feel. that is how we were made. to walk with our feet. not to ride around on wheels with attitude. and yes when im walking around, i will walk right in front of a bike im NOT moving out of the way for you. same with cars. they get the finger when they dont like im crossing when it’s green. boo hoo wheel people!”
Rob, that explains why you have been hit ten times. Maybe you need insurance.
I love you cmu!
