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 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?
Streetsblog is awesome! That’s a great, great application. Thanks, guys!
“Hey does anyone know what to do when someone has left there bike chained infront of you house.”
Seriously, I don’t understand why people think it’s okay to do this. It damages the ironwork, which isn’t free to fix. Of course, what do jerks care, they don’t pay for it, right?
When anyone chains a bike to your property, I assume you have a right to cut the chain. And probably to remove the bike from your property.

Actually, that sounds like a good idea. Or, one could apply a bolt cutter at a strategic time (late at night) and do some “removal.” Not that I’d ever do anything like that, I’m just saying.
Rob, “brownies” are legal in Amsterdam, among other things. I think you’d like it there. It’s really a nice place.
“Social contract” is I believe from Hobbes.
How do you know it’s been there continuously?
bicycles are part of the solution to cars, rob. you seem to be annoyed that people need a way to get around. i understand you get around well on all fours, but that’s just not for everybody.

im not even pro car southbrooklyn, dont go there. i dont even have a license. cars as transportation could all disappear for all i care as well. just because i find bike issues annoying doesnt mean i am pro car.

“Over at Livable Streets Initiative we are actually building a geo web app that will, among other things, allow New Yorkers to post photos, notes and locations of abandoned bikes on a web-based map to make it easier for city government to just send someone out once a week to all the locations and address the problem in a more centralized manner”
Really????
Wow, someone’s got some serious free time…
Rob you really need to get over that chip on your shoulder about Europe.
